Schalmont High School students helped bring some joy to families at Ronald McDonald House in Albany this Christmas by raising $6,500 and delivering gifts this week.

Each year, students in AP U.S. History and Current Affairs hold a fundraiser to help Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Capital Region. Students held a bowling event in December to raise money and then bought, wrapped and delivered gifts for families.

“They raised $6,500!” said Teacher Mr. Dolan. “We went shopping Tuesday and delivered all of the gifts to the kids and their families after school on Thursday.”

Thank you students for making Schalmont so very proud!
