By CHARLOTTE COHEN Special to the Palisadian-Post The Student Council at Palisades Elementary Charter School has been saving up its money for a good cause. We are very happy to be able to give $400 to each of these great charities: ‘ Heal The Bay–Key to the Sea, a group focused on keeping the beaches clean, educating the community and schools about how they can help, and measuring the ocean water for cleanliness. ‘ Ronald McDonald Charities of Southern California, which provides apartments to entire families who travel away from their home to get their kids into hospitals. These apartments are built near hospitals, and the family can stay there for a very small fee. This housing is given to families whose kids have serious illness like cancer. ‘ Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, a hospital that cares for children who are very sick from here and all over the world, and does a lot of their work for free. We are hoping that our money can help a sick child get well. ‘ UCLA/Orthopedic Hospital Center for Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral palsy is a medical condition that affects control of the muscles. We are hoping that our money will help those with this condition. Pali Elementary’s Student Council hopes it can stay connected to the community by helping them.
