We recently received terrific news from École Félix-Leclerc and we are delighted to share it with all of you. Back in June 2014, supporters had already raised more than $6,000 for a students trip to the Alps slated for 2016. In less than one year, supporters have added more than $8,000 to that number for a total of $15,506.30 to to date, the campaign will officially wrap up in 2016. That is quite impressive!

We recently received this letter from the École d'éducation international in McMasterville, Quebec and we are very pleased to share the letter with you all. Raising $10,000 in 4 months is certainly a stellar feat and it's only the beginning! Congrats!
