 First graders at Schoolcraft Learning Community are working on an exhibition about transportation and they took it one step further after learning how some people in Bemidji and surrounding areas don't have the same opportunities for transportation. Students presented the Village of Hope Shelter a $757 check to provide bus tokens for the six families living in the shelter. The families now have transportation when they search for jobs or housing or go to their appointments. Just like at home some some budget has to go for food some and so transportation is usually the thing if we don't have enough money that's what gets cut out and so for us to have $700 to be able to just give to transportation will really help the families get out and do the things that they need to do. The money came from donations raised at the school's transportation 5k run and walk.
