Thank You!!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for supporting our annual Haiti fundraiser.  With the support of students, families, staff and the school, we were able to raise over $2800.  Monies have been donated to Pure Water for the World and UMCOR - Haiti Hot Lunch Program.  To date, Sparta Middle School has raised over $22,000 to help efforts in Haiti.  Job well done Sparta Middle School.

Thanks again,

Mr. Tidey
