RE LOG - Spring 2017

26 Ransom Everglades LOG SPRING 2017 Many individual RE students have been recognized for service efforts they conduct entirely on their own. One Ransom Everglades student founded a non-profit foundation that feeds an average of 150 needy families a month. Another was honored for distributing dolls to cancer patients. A middle-school student was recognized for her conservation and environmental protection efforts on Key Biscayne. Another student started a charity flag football tournament that has raised more than $30,000 for abused and neglected children. At right we highlight a few of our many partnerships and events, but note that this list is always changing and growing.
