Last week we were helping Japan. This week and next week we are helping children with cancer through Pennies for Patients. If you are not familiar, Pennies for Patients is a fundraising effort to help raise money to help with blood cancer research. Last year we raised over $3,000 as a school. Several years ago, one of our students benefited from treatment options researched through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. This year another student is also undergoing treatment options made available through the society. I can't wait to see how much we raise for this worthy organization. I'll keep you posted!
On a side note, the votes are in. Our district has voted (80-plus percent) in favor of the pay freeze. That means at this point, jobs and programs are saved. I'm just praying that nothing else major comes along!
