Friday we had a 5th-8th grade get-together in the gym where student reps introduced members of the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society who spoke to us about blood cancers and how we can help.
Volunteers from the audience helped explain how blood cancer works (and is destroyed with chemo!) so students could better understand the importance of finding a cure, especially for kids who have it in our community and the state of CT.
Ms. Riendeau’s advisory is hosting Pennies for Patients this month where we’ll be bringing in change to donate to the society. All proceeds will go to helping to find cures and treatments! :-)
The rules:
Bring in change to donate.
Pennies are worth the most points, so bring in bigger coins/bills to put in OTHER grade’s bottles to bring down their overall score. Highest score wins an ESM prize PLUS the honor of donating for an incredible cause.
See the links HERE and HERE.
Donate starting next week! The bottles will be at the top of the stairs each morning.
Thomas, Daeshawn and Khamani demonstrating!
