Good Giving Challenge - Providence Middle School raised over seventeen hundred dollars from donations for the Good Giving Challenge. With that money, we will buy equipment for a black box theatre. That includes: lights, background, microphones, and speakers. We are so excited to use all of these new utilities for the drama curriculum. On behalf of us all here at Providence Middle School, we would like to thank all of the parents who donated to the Good Giving Challenge. It is greatly appreciated. - Theo Cozzi (article continues on page 2)
