Monday, February 8^th is the kick off of the “Pennies for Patients” fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Iowa.  This is the 3^rd year for the program at our school and hopefully we can have another successful fund drive.  Last year we raised over $3500 as a school and were able to help many families affected by blood cancer diseases.  Once again our honor student for our school is Garrett Asmus, who successfully battled Hodgkin’s Disease last year.  A letter was sent home with all Elementary and Middle School students explaining the program.  Also all the elementary students and most of the middle school kids will receive collection boxes to aid in this years fund raising. 

Collection boxes will be sent home on Monday, February 8^th.  Also, every classroom, advisor group, or seminar group will be given a larger collection box to aid in the process.  Again this year, a pizza party will be given to the groups raising the most funds in the elementary, middle school, and high school levels.  Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
