Friend School Mullica Hill holds hurricane relief benefit concert
Concerned about victims of the latest hurricanes, eighth graders at Friends School Mullica Hill wanted to do something to help. Their idea was to take the annual talent show, normally held during school hours, and transform it into FriendStock, a Friday evening benefit concert. Students collected donations at the door and ran vendor booths, selling snacks and handmade crafts such as magnets and bracelets. After the final tallies, the kids at the pre-kindergarten through eighth grade school raked in $2,162 for AdoptAClassroom.org’s Hurricane Relief Fund and $290 for the Humane Society’s Disaster Relief Fund.
