When students at Bernheim Middle School hosted a fall carnival, they weren't just having fun — they were supporting 17 local nonprofits. They've also raised money for water projects in Sudan, created a quilt for the state fair, and this week they're bringing history to life with a Renaissance fair. 🎪
