Pennies for Patients'

I'm happy to announce our very own Country Lane Cornerstone students will be hosting Pennies for Patients' in March. Pennies for Patients is a service learning and character education program that gives students a unique experience making a difference through teamwork to aid thousands of children and adults in the fight against blood cancers like leukemia. It's a win win situation. The kids will learn what "doing good" for others can mean and feel a great sense of pride in helping others. Over the next 3 weeks starting in March, students will be collecting spare change and depositing that change in bins located in each classroom and in the library. The change will be counted daily. At the end of our 3 weeks we will turn over our donation to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Yay!!
