Thanks to all families and students for participating in our Coin War to adopt a gorilla and an elephant. We raised over $630, allowing us to far surpass our goal! Our newly adopted gorilla was named Marshmallow by Mrs. Bartsch's class and our elephant was named Angel by Ms. Paluzzi's class. Hope you're enjoying The One and Only Ivan experience.
