Pennies for Patients

We reached ANOTHER goal for Pennies for Patients, so one student from each grade who brought in $1, had their name put into a bucket with the chance to be picked and throw a pie at our spanish teacher, Guierllmo. Frank was picked from 1st grade, with a perfect aim! We reached ANOTHER goal as well, so each child who brought in $1 got to take part in duct taping Mrs. Marvin to the wall in the music and art room.

As many of you know and have heard from the newsletter or your child, the middle school is leading the Pennies for Patients fundraiser until February 29th; all donations go to lymphoma research/patient needs. The 1st graders have been doing a great job at bringing in their coins.

The theme for Friday was, "Delay the Day." We couldn't start working until all of our coins were counted and totals were documented, and the 1st graders brought A LOT this day, so they got busy after morning meeting and worked together to count all the coins. I'm going by what they counted :) which turned out to be: $23.95. Our total so far since the kick-off is $99.07 - we're neck and neck with 5th grade!
