Cornelia Craft Bazaar Raises $3,800 for Feed My Starving Children

The fifth grade class at Cornelia Elementary School raised more than $3,800 for Feed My Starving Children earlier this month, during the school's 32nd-annual craft bazaar.

Students came up with their own projects, then had them approved by their teachers. They then worked on the handcrafted goods up until the day of the event, with prices ranging between 50 cents and four dollars. They then opened the bazaar to fellow students, parents and community members.

"The annual Craft Bazaar is a great community building event," said Cornelia Principal Chris Holden. "It provides the opportunity for fifth grade students to not only create and market their own product, but to also give back to a charity of their choosing."

The bazaar raised a grand total of $3,871 for the local charity via 1,900 sold items.
