3rd Grader Plays Ukulele, Recorder and Dances to Support St. Louis Food Bank
Katherine S. ’29 and her friend have been playing music and performing dances for their neighbors to raise money for the St. Louis Area Food Bank! She plays her ukulele and recorder while her neighbor plays her ukulele, too. They also choreographed and performed several dances. With their creative efforts and a few days outside, they were able to raise $350 and obtained a match to make a total donation of $700 for the food bank!
Fabulous job, Katherine!
