In conjunction with our new Student Enrichment and Development class, Mr. Connelly’s Advisory “joined the squad” to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Pennies for Patients, a program for students to help raise funds to cure childhood Leukemia. Ms. Kohler and her Personal Finance class jumped right in to partner, providing valuable consultation, enthusiasm and follow through. The students set a goal of raising $600.00 over a two-week period. In a school-and-home-wide effort, junk drawers were emptied, car consoles dug out and couch cushions were over turned—all in the hunt for loose change, which in the end added up to $239.57! And these kids sure put the “fun” in fundraising, raising an additional $901.79 through the sales of Popeye’s chicken sandwiches, and an all-you-can eat popcorn and soda bar during a Friday-night movie marathon. Way to go Coyotes! Thanks to all for helping us almost double our goal!

Fundraising Total: $1,141.36!
