Hats on for Pasta for Pennies

Saints third graders show their passion for Pasta for Pennies by wearing hats last Friday. 
All proceeds from this event are donated to the Leukemia & Lymphoma society.

Pasta for Pennies kicked off this week! Students are encouraged to gather spare change in efforts to help raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The fundraiser is fun and easy because every cent counts! Each classroom is their own team, and they'll be competing for two weeks. At the end of that time, the classes who raise the most money will proudly hang a banner in their room: $100-$199 receive a bronze banner, and $200-$299 receive a silver banner. In addition, the classroom that raises the most money overall will be treated to an "Olive Garden Celebration Party." To raise even more money, students were allowed to wear a hat Friday, September 7 (see photo above), and again this Friday, September 14, if they pay $1.00 to their teacher. More information can be found in students' Friday Folders. Best of luck to all the St. John students as they work to raise money for this great cause!  The last day to donate is this Friday.  A special thank you to Mrs. Westol for coordinating this effort to give back to our community.

*Anyone may donate!  If you would like to donate, please give your donation to a student, teacher, or bring to the front office.*
