Let it snow! These White River Elementary fourth-graders were delighted to receive $1,500 from the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation to fund winter play gear for fellow students in need. The girls have been working on “Operation Snow Fun” for months, with the goal that all White River students could play in the snow at recess this winter. They met with teachers, conducted a student survey, made a formal presentation to their principal and wrote a grant for funding.
