Two teachers from Kennedy Community School in St. Joseph received a combined donation of $206 from SONIC Drive-In’s SONIC Foundation in honor of May’s Teacher Appreciation Month. This donation was made to match all public contributions made to requests on DonorsChoose, a national nonprofit that allows individuals to donate directly to public school classroom requests submitted by teachers. The teachers are: Hanna Kalla, for the project “Growing in Reading with Graphic Novels” for Grades PreK-2; and Jean Voigt, for the project “Flexible Seating for Grade 2!” for Grades PreK-2.
Stearns Bank recently donated $500,000 to Anna Marie’s Alliance’s Building Hope Capital Campaign. The donation will be dedicated to “Coming Home,” the final phase of the Campaign, which is focused on the addition and renovations of the current facility to transform the housing into new apartment-style living arrangements. To support this vital campaign, Anna Marie’s Alliance is seeking tax-deductible gifts from individuals, corporations and community organizations. Donations of any amount are welcome, and all contributions will go directly toward the expansion and renovation of the AMA campus.
The public launch of the capital campaign took place on May 25, with a special event hold at AMA’s headquarters at 505 10th Ave. N., St. Cloud.
