The students at Magruder Elementary School (MES) received a surprise visit on Wednesday, January 23, 2013, from a few miniature pygmy goats. The goats visited the school to provide the students with a real world connection to the Read to Feed Fundraiser that ended the day before. Students raised over $3,000 for the Read to Feed program by being sponsored to read over the last two months. By raising the money, students are providing a country with goats, cows and water buffalos to help with the basic needs of a village. Students were excited to help and encouraged each other throughout the fundraiser. Faculty and administrators were blown away by the amount of money raised and the amount of participants in the school. MES students really made a difference in the lives of others and continue to make their mark each day!
