Chapel Hill-Carrboro French students raised nearly $500 to benefit the Ronald McDonald House during the recent Elementary French Declamation event at East Chapel Hill High School.
Phillips Middle School French students operated booths in the cafeteria commons area of the school, where elementary students paid 50 cents to play various games. The East Chapel Hill High French Club raised $160 by holding a public speaking contest.
The funds raised by students will be matched by other groups supporting the charity.
