Miguel Saldana: Plea for shade at Rose Avenue School

I am a third grade student at Rose Avenue School. We are raising money to buy a huge shade structure to protect our skin from sunburn and skin cancer. Our PTA has raised $60,000 toward the structure. Now we only have $20,000 to go. We have upcoming fundraisers at McDonald’s, Round Table, Yogurt Mill and an ongoing coin drive. Would you kindly go to www.gofundme.com/qep3zk and help us get shade. Thank you for taking time to read my letter.

Miguel Saldana, Third Grade, Rose Avenue School, Modesto
