Wednesday Vision:

During Bulletin announcements, please share the following results from our Pennies for Patients collection:  During our Pennies for Patients collection this year, the Middle School raised a total of $1143.00 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  That's a whopper of a contribution to the ongoing efforts to help children and adults with leukemia, lymphoma and other blood-related cancers.  This year 5th grade raised the most money.  Their total was $602, so they will get to enjoy the ice cream reward party for the top grade level when the date for this gets set.

Please also share the following information about our Kindness Tree campaign:Student Council has located an envelope for our Kindness Tree campaign outside the Social Studies classroom in each grade's hallway.  The envelope contains blank hearts.  Students are welcome to take a heart from the envelope and use it to bless others with kind messages.  Students who write messages on the hearts need to turn them in to their Social Studies teachers.
