Pennies for Patients - 5th Grade Service Project

February is an exciting month at Grainwood Elementary!  All classrooms will participate in a 5th grade service project with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Pennies for Patients program.  We will be raising money to benefit children with blood cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma.  Each day during the week of February 24-28, students will be encouraged to bring in designated coins (of course any money will be accepted any day).

Monday, Feb 24 - Pennies
Tuesday, Feb 25 - Nickels
Wednesday, Feb 26 - Dimes
Thursday, Feb 27 - Quarters
Friday, Feb 28 - Bring a Bill to Wear a Bill (bring a dollar bill and wear a cap during the day!)

Grainwood's goal is to raise $1,800.
The class that raises the most money will win a Domino's Pizza party!

Thank you for helping!  Remember, every penny counts!
