Student Art Helps Raise Funds for Jersey City School

For the second year in a row, the Christmas Card fundraiser sponsored by New Jersey ACE Advocates on behalf of their partner school raised over $1000.

Megan Watkins, chair of the New Jersey region, reports that Sacred Heart School in Jersey City, NJ, elected to put this year's revenues twoard a variety of small "wish-list" purchases.  She adds, "They were thrilled!"

Last year's fundraiser contributed to new technology purchases for student use.

The Christmas card fundraiser ties into the "Saturday Fun" program that the New Jersey ACE Advocates sponsor at Sacred Heart.  During one session of this monthly extracurricular enrichment program, students designed Christmas cards.  Two designs by fifth and sixth grade students were selected to become the official cards, sold for $1 apiece.
