ANNOUNCEMENTS Thursday, March 26, 2015

ALL STUDENTS
Our last social of the year will be tomorrow, 3/27! The 6th grade social is from
2:30-4, and the 7th/8th grade social is from 5-6:30. We will have a DJ, games,
and open gym. The cost is $2.00 at the door (which goes toward your class'
Pennies for Patients total) and there will also be pizza, pop and treats for sale.
We will also be drawing names of students to play in the student vs. staf
basketball game during the dance. Come support this great cause while having
fun with your friends at our last social of the year!
PENNIES FOR PATIENTS
We are now 3 days into our Pennies for Patients fundraiser. Since every 3
minutes one person in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer, in the last 72
hours 1440 people have received a devastating diagnosis. Every donation goes
to help with research and the financial needs of families who have this diagnosis.
Please remember to bring in that change, those bills and checks. Also, don't
forget to use the online donation webpages. It is a great way to involve your
whole family in this wonderful fundraiser! Currently we have raised over $600. In
the lead is Mrs. Brookhouse and close behind in 2nd is Mrs. Chandel and 3rd
place is Mrs. Schiably. The winning class will receive a pasta party from Olive
Garden.
