Harper McCaughan students set up fundraiser to help teacher

LONG BEACH, Miss. (WXXV)- Students at Harper McCaughan Elementary School came together to surprise one of their teachers.

The sixth-grade student council took action and put together a fundraiser to support their beloved teacher Leslie Beeman after she and her family lost their home in a fire over fall break.

Last week, students and staff paid $1 to wear a hat or costume to school.

The student council then surprised Ms. Beeman with the funds raised.

Together the students raised over $600.
