Wednesday Vision:

During Bulletin announcements this morning, our vision topic is a celebration.  Please share the following results from the Pennies for Patients collection:   In total the Middle School collected $1,452.23 to donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. This money will go directly towards efforts to help people who are sick with blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma.  This year 5th grade contributed the biggest portion of our total by bringing in $486.70, so the 5th grade students and teachers are the winners of the ice cream party for the top grade level.  7th grade was very close behind in 2nd place with $480.29.  The money that our school raised in response to this opportunity for compassion is headed towards a very important and worthy cause.  Thank you, Middle School Bears, for your generous support of this year's collection!
