ST. LOUIS – While school is out for the summer, some students are still hard at work outside of the classroom.
Incoming eighth grade students at St. Gabriel the Archangel School in St. Louis Hills were out in Francis Park to raise money for those affected by the May 16 tornado.
They pitched a tent and brought out some lemonade under the guidance of their teacher John Magee.
The savvy students even had a Venmo account handy for the many people walking near the park to donate.
The students raised $2,349 in total, which will go to DePaul USA and Love the Lou.
