Thanks Derek with Jones Ag for coming and sharing about your business with Mrs.Holzhey’s class.




Everest Middle School Student Council held a Penny War in December. Along with a generous donation from Tim Lentz, they were able to purchase a book for every student at Horton Elementary School. The fifth grade students won the Penny War, therefore they got the privilege to go to the elementary school and read books with the first grade and preschool students. Every student at Horton Elementary School received a new book as a result of this philanthropic activity.
