When kindergartner Joscelyn Zimmerman heard about the tsunami in the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004, she wanted to do something about it. So she went to Jenny Frerichs, her teacher at Stoddard Elementary, a CC! school, and asked how people could help.

As a result, the class held a two-week fundraiser in conjunction with the Pillar of Caring. It netted $338.69.

"That really knocks me out of my socks," said one kindergartner about the sum.

"They did a great job of raising money for people who really need it," Ms. Frerichs told the Daily Sun. "We had so much change the kids could hardly carry it."

The money went to Lutheran World Relief.
