WINNERS IN A STRETCH
Two R.D. White Elementary School students traveled and dined in grand
style Monday -- the fruits of being the top fund-raisers for
technology-related needs at their school. Children at the school raised
several hundred dollars selling household items. The top priority for the
funds is to buy ink cartridges for school printers. The entire school
participated in the four-month program, which was organized by R.D. White
technology chairwoman Kelly Hume. Fifth-grader Tayra Quinones, 10, and
third-grader Sharleen Sherafatian, 8, were picked up at their school in a
beautiful black limousine donated by Art Executive Service. The happy
pair were accompanied by R.D. White Principal Suzanne Risse and
teacher-specialist Christie Brown. In keeping with the high-class spirit
of the event, the limo whisked them to The Castaway restaurant in
Burbank, where they were treated to a gourmet meal at the elegant
hillside restaurant. The Castaway donated the meal to the school.
