Over the next few weeks, you will be receiving information to donate for various causes in the month of February. The first one will be for this week and all donations will benefit the northern Ohio Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We have partnered with this society over the past five years and have raised close to $9,000 in the time period! These donations go directly to local families who are in need of financial support for medical costs and treatments as well as funding research to fight the blood cancer. Due to participating in the Feed My Starving Children event in the late fall, this year we are doing a one-day drive (not multiple weeks) on Friday, February 2. All students need to do is donate at least $1 by this Friday and they can wear a hat to school. Obviously, more that $1 will also be accepted.
Additional information will also be coming out later this week about supporting the Panther Pride's Foundation theme of "28-day Change Challenge." Each week will be a theme for giving during the month of February.
Lastly, our physical education teachers, Mr. Sheridan and Ms. Lipstraw, will be conducting a "Jump Rope for the Heart" campaign in the coming weeks. I encourage you to find a cause that is close to your "heart" and please consider contributing to the variety of great causes that are happening this month.
