Ashland Middle School is hosting a coin drive to support Asheville Middle School, which was impacted by Hurricane Helene. From Friday, October 18th through November 15th, students can bring coins to their homeroom class to help raise funds for those affected by the hurricane.
Each hall will compete to see which homeroom can collect the most money. The winning homeroom for each hall will be awarded a prize, and an overall grand prize will be awarded as well. The goal for each homeroom is to raise $50.
Thank you for your generosity and support!
