2013 Pennies for Patients Exciting News!

We just found out some very exciting news: Lafayette Elementary School was the TOP fundraising school this year in all of D.C. Public Schools! Our final total was over $7,000, which was more than double our original goal. We will get a special plaque recognizing our status, and Nurse Cockrell and I were also chosen as the "2013 Distinguished Coordinators for DC" based on our rookie status (neither of us have ever done this fundraiser before) and the amount raised. One classroom was chosen by LLS to attend a Nationals Baseball game on June 22, and that class is Mrs. Harn's 2nd grade students (also our 3rd place winners overall for the school). All of our students and parents can also attend this game at a reduced price by using this link. We want to give a big thanks to YOU parents for supporting this fundraiser and helping us achieve these goals. We couldn't have done it without your support (and of course, your pennies!)

Another successful week of Pennies for Patients has ended, with only one more to go! At the end of two weeks, Lafayette has raised over $5,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, surpassing the school's overall goal by over $2,000! A big THANK YOU to everyone who has donated to this great cause. We still have one more week to collect coins. Please have students bring their boxes in to school on Thursday, March 28th for the final count. We will announce the final fundraising total on Friday.
