COSHOCTON – Students at Coshocton Elementary School had fun last week raising money for a great local cause.

United Way Week was held Dec. 5-9 and gave students the chance to dress up for the cost of $2 for the week or $0.50 a day and enjoy yummy treats at lunch for just $0.50.

Pajama day, which was Monday, Dec. 5, was a favorite for kindergarten students Aubree Bantum, Abigail Unkefer and Jaylee Alexander. However, they also enjoyed crazy hair day on Friday, Dec. 9 along with fellow kindergarten students Leo Laaper and Harmony Fisher.

“My mom put a bottle in my hair and I’m Cindy Lou Who,” Fisher said.

The school shared with the students that United Way helps to promote community service projects and its goal is to help children and youth succeed through engagement, strengthening and supporting families, improving access to health care and promoting financial stability.
