Bratt Students Raise $2,117 For St. Judes Children’s Hospital
February 14, 2012
Bratt Elementary students raised over $2,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital during a recent Math-A-Thon event.
The 49 students that took part in the Math-A-Thon raised $2,117.32 for St. Jude. Students turning in the top three donation amounts were Christopher Nordman ($503), Drake Jordan ($100) and Hadden Barlow ($78.77), according to results that were announced Monday morning.
The Math-A-Thon program allows students to use their math powers and help the kids of St. Jude at the same time. Participants received donations from sponsors for completing a “Funbook” filled with math problems.
Donations and used by St. Jude to continue its mission of finding cures and saving children with cancer and other serious childhood diseases.
“We would like to thank all the students who participated and all the people who donated to help our Math-A-Thon be a success,” said Bratt Math-A-Thon coordinator Linda Jackson.

I am so proud of all the students & parents that participated in this so very worthy cause. But, I have to say that Christopher Nordman is such a hard working & quietly generous sole that he failed to mention to his family & friends that he was pictured in the newspaper. KUDOS TO CHRISTOPHER NORDMAN!
This is for such a good cause ; I am so glad to think our young people are giving to the children that rarely have a smile or just dont feel like smiling today ! It is a wonderful thing these students have done . we never know when it could be one of our own ! …Thank you to Bratt Elementary you all have done an exceptional job. It makes me feel good when i help someone in need .I also teach my son this lesson so he will be a better Man as he grows up . Keep up the good work ,it is worth it

I was a student at Bratt from 72/73 to 81/82.
I distinctly remember participating in a Read-a-Thon for St. Jude’s.
Glad to know the school is still helping St. Jude’s!
Fantastic
Way to go Bratt Students! It’s great to see kids helping those less fortunate.
