students count change for charity

Gaiser Middle School students who recently collected an estimated more than $3,000 in a chest drive as part of a district-wide fund drive for charity. began to slow down a bit when it came to counting the contributed coins.

Vancouver School District Foundation member Rich Biggs placed a call to Parker Cann, president of Columbia Credit Union, and, voila! a coin counting machine is being delivered to the school.

Each year Vancouver students collect nearly $50,000, which last year was contributed to the district foundation and earmarked to help provide basic needs for district students.
