The Problem

The pedestrian bridge over Missouri highway 744 helps kids get to school, but it had structural problems so it was removed. Now the school has to shuttle students across the street everyday and it's a big problem. It also affects older kids that pick up thier sibblings at Williams elementary.

Plan of Action

I plan to raise money to help the city rebuild this bridge that was so important to the students at Williams elementary. So far we've had a Fazoli's fundraiser and then we are going to have a Krispy Kreme fundraiser. We plan on having car washes in the spring, a Panera bread fundraiser, and selling vegetables from our garden.
