Students at Creek View Elementary in Alpharetta recently participated in a fundraiser to raise money for Holland East Elementary School, a Title 1 school in Holland, MI, where over 75% of the students receive free or reduced lunch. The goal was to purchase the book Wonder, by R.J. Palacio, for every fourth and fifth grade student at the school.

Creek View partnered with the principal of Holland East, Nick Cassidy, who taught in Fulton County for several years before moving to Michigan. For one week, students paid $1 to participate in daily dress up themes, which included dressing like a superhero. Creek View raised $ 1400 for the school to purchase the books.
