Williamstown Elementary School's
Has what it takes to keep the work of RLP
moving forward.

Once we began, it was simple to see that bringing the project to my classroom and involving the students was the path to take. 
 
          An annual book drive
          Plant sales
With all proceeds going for the purchase of books in Spanish

         Pen pal letters
         Private fundraising projects
With proceeds split between trip costs and materials purchase
