Gerstell Academy Students Raise Over $7,300 for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital

Over the past few weeks, the students of Gerstell Academy’s middle and upper school have been hard at work raising funds for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. Their efforts, fueled by creativity and generosity, led to an impressive total of $7,365.65 donated to support children battling serious illnesses. 
The Math Honor Society took the lead in fundraising by organizing a bake sale and a Pie-A-Teacher raffle. Their dedication paid off, raising $550 for the cause. The excitement culminated on March 7th when raffle winners had the unique opportunity to pie a selection of teachers in the face—a fun and engaging way to celebrate their success. 

Meanwhile, middle school students participated in the St. Jude’s Math-A-Thon, reinforcing their math skills while making a difference. Students completed math packets in their classes and collected donations from family and friends. Their combined efforts resulted in an astounding $6,815.65 raised! 

To add even more excitement, a special event was held on March 25th as a reward for top fundraisers. Any middle school student who raised over $20 for St. Jude’s earned the chance to throw a water balloon at Mr. Segal, making for a memorable and enjoyable way to cap off their charitable efforts. 

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the students, teachers, and families involved, Gerstell Academy successfully raised $7,365.65 to benefit the children and families of St. Jude’s. This accomplishment showcases the power of community and giving, proving that even small acts of kindness can lead to a significant impact.
