The kids did a great job!

Every third Sunday of the month, Maria's Comida, a restaurant in Hamtramck, hosts an event that will support a local project designed to improve the city.  The event is called Diverse (Soup) City .Everyone one pays $7.00 for a meal of delicious soup (tonight's was vegan ratatouille), fresh bread, a beverage, and something sweet.  During the meal, pre-arranged groups deliver a brief presentation about a project that they hope will be funded through the night's proceeds.

Tonight, the Climbing for Success campaign made its appeal to the crowd gathered at the cozy environs of Maria's.  First to speak was John Rostek who gave a brief overview of his goal to climb Mt. McKinley.  Next, Emad and Karolina (two juniors at HHS) spoke about how much money we are hoping to raise and why.  Finally, Iqra and Simone (a senior and a sophomore) displayed a beautiful poster (replete with flashing stars) they created and Iqra spoke specifically about how attending events with Student Council helped her to become a better leader.  Five other students came out to support the presentation.

After all of the presentations were complete, the diners voted.  Our table held hands as the results were announced.  The winner - Climbing for Success.  The total grant received tonight is $302!  Thanks Maria's Comida and SOUP patrons.
