Thomas Jefferson Elementary Student Council presented Mrs. Rebecca Christians, Director of Autumn's ReRide Youth Ranch with a donation of $250 during a Rise & Shine Assembly Jan. 15. Autumn's ReRide Youth Ranch is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Northwest Arkansas. The ranch provides a safe and peaceful environment where broken children, horses and families can find hope and peace within the healing glow of unconditional love freeing them from their troubles and sadness.
All ages find their special place at the ranch, whether it is caring for horses, working with children, horseback riding, taking a walk on the property, or the opportunity to bask in a peaceful environment while sitting under the shade of a sycamore tree.
All of this wonder, healing and hope is provided free of charge; volunteers have been building, cleaning, fixing and improving the ranch ever since it began, all without expecting anything in return.
TJE Student Council raised funds to donate to the ranch by selling character education bracelets. Students will be spending a day at the ranch later in the spring to volunteer.
