Topeka Elementary Fundraiser For Tornado Victims In late May the third grade students at Topeka Elementary School held a fundraiser with a mission to reach out and raise money for the victims of the tragic tornadoes that struck in Moore, Oklahoma and the surrounding area. The students took on the challenge of raising money to help those that were in desperate need by baking cookies and selling them to all of the students of Topeka Elementary during the school day on Wednesday, May 29th. The third grade students were able to raise approximately $425, which went directly to the victims of the Oklahoma tornadoes. Photo Submitted Left to right: Makay
