During the month of March, members of the Willow Road Student Council focused their efforts on raising funds for the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society. The Pennies for Patients fundraiser has always been a successful way to not only raise awareness, but gather donations from the community to help fight these types of cancer.
The Student Council distributed collection boxes to all of the classrooms and students at the beginning of March. Each week, the Student Council Officers would make an announcement to remind everyone to keep the change and donations coming. At the end of the month, the money was collected and counted by the members of the Student Council. Many of the students gave up their recess time to help count the change that was collected.
In all, the Willow Road Student Council collected $1,040.00 for the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society. Many thanks to all of the families, students, and members of the Willow Road faculty who donated to this very important and worthy cause. Every penny counts and makes a difference.
