Our NHS chapter held this same campaign four years ago.  Classrooms are encouraged to hold their own money raising events such as bake sales to collect money. The middle school boxes will be distributed to Mrs. Graham – 8th grade, Mrs. Ramsey – 7th grade, Ms. Turk – 6th grade. The high school will be Mr. Baldner – 9th grade, Ms. French – 10th, 11th & 12th grade.

Onekama NHS Sponsors
Pennies for Patients

 

From April 8 - 25, the NHS will be sponsoring a fund raising campaign for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society called Pennies for Patients.  Collection boxes will be distributed to your rooms the morning of Tuesday, April 8.  I will try to have these boxes picked up every two days to count money.  We ask that you put the box in a secure location in the evening.

The elementary will have boxes for each grade as well.  If anyone wants a box for their room, let me know.

The winning classroom/grade will receive either a pizza or an ice cream sundae party (your choice). There is a DVD for classroom viewing which discusses the reasons behind this fund raising campaign.  You can schedule the viewing of the DVD with Ms. French. 

An announcement to elementary parents will be attached to the Thursday bulletin.  We appreciate your participation in the worthy cause.
