Spring-Ford Area School District

To track our progress in raising funds for the garden, our Art teacher, Mrs. Bollinger, has created a mural on the wall of the All Purpose Room (Cafeteria). "Building it Brick by Brick" will track our progress on reaching our goal. For every $100 raised through the various fundraising events, a brick will be painted to finally complete the mural when we've reached our goal.

Update 03/26/08: Over $400 was raised by the last Max and Erma's latest event!  Thanks!!
