The Bismarck community is encouraged to help Moses Elementary School students raise funds for Parker Elementary School in Panama City, Florida, which was impacted by Hurricane Michael in October.  Its homeless student population grew from 30 to 200 children, and the school combined with another one school for a while. Parker is now back in session but still needs clothing, food, beds and even homes for Parker Elementary families.

Each Moses student is pledging to walk one mile a week from January 14 to February 8 to raise funds for Parker school. They will use their gift of an active lifestyle to help those in need—sharing the joy of health and wellness nationwide! Checks can be made payable to Dorothy Moses Elementary School, 1312 S. Columbia Drive, Bismarck, ND 58504. At the end of the four weeks, Moses students will Skype with Parker Elementary and “present” the school with a check to help with their hurricane relief efforts.  For more information, call Moses, 701-323-4180.
