Josh Franks, with the Arkansas Crisis Center, left, watches as McKayla Perrin, 12, Carrissa Jackson, 13, and Kodie McDaniel, 13, Holt Middle School seventh-graders ask questions Monday via computer to someone at the center during the Charity Fair at the school in Fayetteville. The students will learn about the charities in order to research and try to get their class to support one. Each seventh-grade class will choose a charity to which to donate. This is a part of the new curriculum about argumentative writing.
Twelve-year-old Rayner Whitehead, a seventh-grader at Holt Middle School, said he learned something Monday during a Charity Fair at his school.
