Jack's First Grade Royal Ranger patrol was challenged to raise $500 as a group for missions. Each boy was to raise $65 individually towards the goal. The boys were encouraged to be creative in how they raised their monies. If they met or exceeded their goal they would get to participate in a reward activity at the end of the year. Jack earned $45 with a few boys raking leaves in the fall. He wanted to raise the remainder of his goal selling candy bars. We purchased a fund-raising box of candy at Sam's Club and off he went. He ended up selling $50 more to reach $95 towards missions. So, in June Jack and four other boys went to Petra Rock Climbing Gym in Springfield for their reward. The boys had a lot of fun. For some this was a totally new experience. Jack also received a special prize for raising the most...$10 in Andy's Frozen Custard gift certificates. Way to go Jack!
