Guidance Gossip

May 2005

We are very excited and proud to announce that the students at Meadow Brook School raised $2383.53 for this year’s Pennies for Patients campaign. This money goes to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and assists children with these diseases. We are just beaming that our students are so involved in helping other children!! This year’s collection exceeds that of the previous two years combined!!!

Our thanks go to the students, the families, the classroom teachers and all who supported this worthy endeavor. Special thanks to parent volunteers (Gae Gold, Lisa Lord, Diane McCarthy, Jodi Piemonte, and Mary Schaller-Race) who helped to cart the coins to Coinstar machines and count all of our pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.

Eleven classrooms earned ice cream parties for having 100% participation in the Pennies for Patients campaign and Room 23 won the pizza party for collecting the most money of any room ($215. 32)! Since our school did so well this year the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society awarded pencils to every child in the school as a thank you.
