Pennies for Patients
The Pennies for Patients program sponsored by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is in full swing again this year. Your child should have received their own coin box for collecting change, dollars, and checks (made out to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society). Spare change can turn up anywhere and your child can make a difference just by collecting it. Thanks to you and your child in advance for helping LLS create a world without blood cancers. The drive will end on Wednesday, February 21, with all boxes being collected on that date. Any questions can be directed to Mr. Plaksa, Lower School Coordinator, at (570-718-6604).
