After
learning that one of Blair Moody Elementary School’s first graders is battling
leukemia, the Student Council wanted to find a way to help. They found it
in the Olive Garden’s Pasta for Pennies! program benefiting The Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society.
Students
collect money and after a few weeks the class that has collected the
most money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will be treated to an Olive
Garden lunch at school.
Two
weeks ago students were provided with collection boxes to take home and keep in
their classroom. Student Council members have been hard at work collecting and
counting the donations daily. During the morning announcements students
have also been learning a little bit about Leukemia and Lymphoma every day.
The
competition for the Olive Garden lunch is close. With only a few days
left, there are four classes that have each collected over $100. In total
the school has collected nearly $800 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Blair
Moody’s Student Council is comprised of 10 students from the third, fourth, and
fifth grade classes. These bright, young, leaders are dedicated to making
a difference in their school and community. They are off to an amazing
start.
