Pennies for Patients

Our school has joined more than 250,000 schools nationwide in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Pennies for Patient program. For the next three weeks we will be helping people who are sick with blood cancers like leukemia. Every student was provided a small box to collect coins with. Once the box is full, then they need to bring it back to school, so that they can empty the pennies into our classroom's collection box. The class that collects the most coins will receive a pizza party!


The students and I are very excited about doing another community service project. We had a discussion about the difference they can make in someone's life with something as small as a penny! Thank you to those parents who have already emptied their coin jars, our box is getting full! :)
