SURRARRER STUDENTS TURN LEMONADE STAND PROFITS INTO DONATION TO LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER
Shout out to Surrarrer students, Sophia and Sam Garritano, for their recent act of kindness. The sister and brother team ran a lemonade stand in their neighborhood over the summer.

The duo donated blankets, toys, and more than $300 cash to ARF - well done Sophia and Sam! HERE is a recent FOX 8 story about their efforts.
