Best friends Evelyn Thallemer and Matilda Crosswy, second-grade students at Overbrook Catholic School, raised nearly $33,000 for The Covenant School by making and selling beaded bracelets for adults and children. The bracelets feature six heart beads to represent the six victims of The Covenant School Shooting, which happened on March 27. Part of the money, approximately $17,000, will go toward purchasing a therapy dog for the students, which will be delivered to Covenant in the fall. The rest of the money is at the discretion of Covenant School to decide how to use it. Evelyn Thallemer and Matilda Crosswy, second-grade students at Overbrook Catholic School, smile as they listen to their classmates.
