Ridgewood oNJ, it started with an idea to do something worthwhile, but four students from Orchard Elementary School in Ridgewood, NJ have shown that they’ve got what it takes to make a difference. Fifth graders Nina Pehlivanian, Aleksandra Fitzgerald, Annika Ginde, and Shaila Venkatraman worked together to craft bracelets with a gold bead, representing the color for Pediatric Cancer awareness, to sell at the school’s annual talent show. Selling for $5.00 each, the bracelets sold out by intermission, resulting in a $1300 donation for the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
