Local students will be participating in a fundraiser this week to help pay for educational programs as well as a collection this month to support those in need.
The Mars Area Elementary PTO’s annual “March for Mars” walk-a-thon will be held at the Mars Area Primary Center on Wednesday, the Mars Area Centennial School on Thursday, and the Mars Area Elementary School on Friday.
Students will be collecting donations to benefit educational programs at the schools but will also be eligible to receive one of several prizes. For more information about how to donate, visit the website of the Mars Area Elementary PTO.
Also, students in the Mars Area High School German Club are holding a Sock Drive beginning today through October 25th. Sock donations will help Pittsburgh’s homeless residents through the Harvest Street Mission. Donations of new socks can be dropped off at any of the Mars Area School District buildings during school hours.
