May 10: Fogelsville Elementary School $10 Project/Spring Festival, from 5:30-8 p.m. Fogelsville PTO gave each classroom $10 and a poster board. Each class was challenged to come up with a plan to spend the $10. Only rule, was the $10 could not be spent on their classroom.

The money had to go to make a difference in the lives of others. Once their projects were complete each class put together a poster depicting how they spent their $10. Posters will be displayed throughout the gym.

The result is a picturesque way highlighting how each class made a difference in others' lives as a result of a mere $10.
