Students at St. Rita's Catholic School in Dallas decided to turn a world events lesson into a fundraiser, and presented Catholic Relief Services with a check on Friday.
A Dallas Catholic school is not only teaching its students about the war in Ukraine, it is also fundraising to help those impacted by it.
"Things don't cost that much over there," said Norma Valdez, with Catholic Relief Services. "We try to buy things from the local economy to keep things stable.""I'm crying because, my first class, I had four kids coming in with $100 each. They were asked to bring in one dollar," said Agnes Denvir. The students were quick to respond and took it upon themselves to learn more about the war in Ukraine.
