A Pardon, A HUGE Fundraiser, And A Monster Truck Surprise
The last Salem witch was pardoned last week by the state of Massachusetts. Her name was Elizabeth Johnson Jr. She was sentenced to death 329 years ago in 1693. The governor back then stopped the execution, but she was never cleared of the charges until now. A group of eighth graders made it happen by researching what the state had to do to officially pardon her.
After the tragic school shooting in Texas there was another tragedy. The husband of one of the teachers who was killed died of a heart attack just days later. So their family is now rallying around their four kids, and so is the whole world. Someone started a GoFundMe to make sure they at least don’t have to worry about money. Last we checked, over $2.8 MILLION had been raised.
A 13-year-old patient of St. Jude’s Hospital that designed a Monster Jam toy truck, was given an even bigger gift last week. Calvin and his mom Tiffany were surprised with a full-sized Monster Jam truck decked out in his artwork.
