On Friday
McDowell Elementary School had a kick-off assembly for its "Pennies for
Patients" fundraiser.
Since
1994, millions of dollars have been raised in pennies and other spare
change by more than 10 million elementary, middle and high school students throughout
the country. The funds, collected during a three-week period, benefit The
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Everyone who participates is a winner!
Here
are kids learning about blood. The hula hoops’ represent blood platelets,
red blood cells and white blood cells.
The
school will be spreading the love as we sell "Candy for a Cure" ring
pops and having a "Hero Hat Day" to raise funds.
