The students of El Dorado Adventist School, under the guidance of Nancy Schoonover, showed their generosity and kindness by hosting a pancake breakfast fundraiser to support the people of Ukraine who have been affected by the Russian invasion. The fourth-graders Carter Gatling and Mackenzie Jones, and third-grader Elle Norton, along with staff member Catherine Reeb, staffed the welcoming table and donned tie-dye shirts, made with the colors of Ukraine's flag, to show their solidarity.

In a touching display of compassion, the fifth-and sixth-grade students created a quilt two years prior, which just so happened to feature the colors of Ukraine's flag. The quilt was auctioned as part of the fundraiser and helped raise much-needed funds for the people of Ukraine.

The kindness and dedication of these students were recognized and highlighted by the Mountain Democrat newspaper, showcasing their efforts to make a difference in the world.
