TINICUM 4TH GRADERS LEARN ABOUT GIVING BACK!
To honor Tinicum’s 60 years of service to the community, the fourth grade class decided to raise money for the Sunshine Foundation, a charity that has been a part of our 60-year history. The Sunshine foundation was created by Philadelphia police officer Bob Sample to provide dreams to terminally ill children. This year students made ceramic holiday ornaments to sell at Tinicum’s Holiday Market. The class is proud to announce that they raised $184.00 to make a dream come true for a child in need.
