Parker Knobeloch, 7, eats spaghetti at the Penn Christian Academy fundraiser for Jenny and Zach Martin. The Martins were severely injured in a car accident Sept. 4.

The cafeteria at Penn Christian Academy filled with community members Friday evening.

The school hosted a spaghetti dinner to raise money for Jenny and Zach Martin, a couple severely injured in a car accident earlier this month. Jenny is a music teacher at the school.

A seventh-grade student in Trish Canedy’s leadership group, 12-year-old Josiah Brugere, came up with the idea for the dinner.

“Josiah said ‘We should do something,” Canedy said. “Here we are.”
