LETTER: Fugees Fundraiser

To the editor:

    This year, the freshmen Connections class read the book, Outcasts United by Warren St. John. The book was about a refugee soccer team named the Fugees near Atlanta, Georgia. The coach, Luma Mufleh, came and spoke to the classes and said their organization was planning to build a private school for the refugees as well. To raise money for the school, they entered a fundraising competition put on by Kohl’s to win half a million dollars. To win, they need to receive a lot of votes.

    Please vote for the Fugees on Facebook or by following the link on their website, fugeesfamily.org. Each person can vote for the school five times and voting closes Friday so we need to take action fast. These kids have next to nothing so please take the time to vote and tell your family and friends to vote too.
