Playing Volleyball to Earn $ for Upper Des Moines

The day before Winter Break, our 7th and 8th grade homeroom classes took an hour out of their day to have a little fun, play a bit of volleyball, and, most importantly, raise money for Upper Des Moines. Our teams were created by their homeroom groups and gender, and the kids played in a round-robin format to decide the male and female champions. The OMS staff then played the student winners to culminate the fun! Over$200 in cash and canned goods were delivered to Upper Des Moines as a result of students bringing in $1 or canned goods if the wanted to participate. Thanks to Mr. DeWild for organizing the event and to all of the 7th and 8th grade teachers for helping facilitate a great activity for the students!!
