First graders raise hundreds for Red Cross

On Friday afternoon, a group of first graders from Adams Elementary set up a bake sale outside Rain City Video (6412 32nd Ave NW) to raise money for the Red Cross relief efforts for the Japan earthquake and Pacific tsunami.

“We raised an AMAZING $300.66,” parent Amber Christiansen tells us. “Not bad for a table full of cookies! Many kids came by and were eager to donate, and we even had one Adams first grader, Remy Cogan, donate her entire piggy bank – we were really moved.”
