Horace Mann Elementary Receives $3,000 Community Dough Fund from Colonial House

Horace Mann Elementary Donation

On May 9th, 2012, the gymnasium of Rapid City’s Horace Mann Elementary School filled with excited students as they gathered to receive a $3,000 check from the Colonial House. Compliments of the 2011-2012 Community Dough Fund, the decision to donate the money to Horace Mann was made after reading letters written by the students.

The Community Dough Fund is raised through a “Civic Mondays” program, in which $2.00 is subtracted from guest checks when they wear a shirt bearing a local civic organization’s logo.

The money is placed into the fund and matched by the Colonial House. Staff also contributes a portion of their tips toward the fund.

The Beshara family was happy to present Horace Mann Elementary with a $3,000 donation check.
