Gloshinski worried that the theft would force the. LOOKS LIKE YOU LEFT SOMETHING OUT HERE

The operation has to be self-sufficient because of the school districts financial woes, it costs about $130 a week to operate. INSERT A COMMA AFTER THE WORD "SELF-SUFFICIENT."PLACE A PERIOD AFTER THE WORD "WOES."CAPITALIZE THE WORD "IT" TO START A NEW SENTENCE.

The community had lessons to share they taught the student’s about charity and compassion. In less than a week, they donated more than $1200 to the operation.INSERT A COLON AFTER THE WORD "SHARE."DELETE THE APPOSTROPHE IN THE WORD "STUDENTS" (IT SHOULD BE PLURAL, NOT POSSESSIVE).THE REST IS CORRECT

“It amazes me,” Gloshinski said. “People continue to reach out they have much bigger hearts than I ever realized.”PLACE A SEMI-COLON AFTER THE WORD "OUT."
