The Learning Exchange sponsored CDC Vimont’s SIS fundraiser for the SPCA. TLE happily provided canvas bags to the students to paint their wonderful creative designs.

The painted bags raised $100.00 for the SPCA in memory of Sebu Baghdassarian. The SIS students still talk about their friend and miss him dearly. Animals were dear to Sebu’s heart which is why they chose the SPCA.
