ACHS PTSA and The Society Young Woman Leadership Organization have teamed up once again to make a global impact for a wonderful school in Ghana. This is an amazing opportunity for all of Stingray Nation and their families to get involved. The school leaders and other partners are building the school by hand to provide the students within their community an opportunity to be educated. The funds raised by The Society in partnership with the ACHS PTSA will directly go to the Wisdom School of Ghana and its needs. Your kindness will impact the entire community and the families of the educators more than you will know. From the carpenters to the suppliers, the educators and assistants at the school, our dollars collectively will go a long way. We are also offering our seniors Graduation Tickets for their donations. $10 = 1 extra graduation ticket and a full desk donation of $35 = 2 tickets. (maximum of 2 tickets). Project 35 runs through Friday, May 16th. LINK TO DONATE: https://app.givebacks.gives/project352025/Campaign/Details
