They raised $8,000 for a senior trip to remember, but instead the graduating class of Isleboro Central School in Maine won’t ever forget the lives they changed by donating that money.
They felt “weird and definitely wrong” to take any sort of trip right now, since they could “really see how the whole world and the island, too, was struggling.” So, they decided to donate $5,000 to the Island Community Fund, to help people who were out of work and needed money for food or rent.
They learned that giving is hard, but giving is good.” The students still have $3,000 left in their travel fund, and are still deciding where to donate the money.
