Fourth-grade students in Julie Eisenbarth's classroom at Lincoln Elementary School in Princeton pose for a photo before personnel at Midland States Bank counted the money they collected to help buy desks/chairs for children in South Africa. The student wore bright green T-shirs with the word "K.I.N.D" (Kids In Need of Desks) emblazoned across the front — a gift from Tim Scott, owner of Creations Unlimited, who also made a donation to the effort and provided a pizza party for the students. Also pictured is Sue Spratt (in red), Midland States Banking Center manager. (BCR photo)
