Bunnell Elementary School’s Future Problem Solving team, which in March participated in a state competition in Orlando, was recognized at the May 1 School Board meeting, as well, for placing third in the event.

The winning team was a group of seven fifth- and six-grade students — Hannah Williams, Mariah Kinard, Hunter VanHook, Randall Tucker, Sharon Gardner, Gregory Gardner and Megan Ryone — who won for their project “Families In Transition.” Beginning last September, the team researched homelessness and has raised more than $400 for the Angel Project, an organization which donates holiday gifts to financially struggling families. The project also collected more than 250 canned goods for The Care Cupboard, a First United Methodist Church food pantry. It also created a Flagler County Emergency Fund for homeless families. To meet its goal of raising $1,000 in the fund, the group will sell inspirational band bracelets at school.
