Pennies for Patients

A Message from Third & Fourth Grade: 

Third and Fourth grade are excited to announce that they have officially kicked off  their Pennies for Patients program. The program will run until Monday, November 8th, 2019. MJDS students will be coming home with their own collection box and a flyer that explains all of the exciting hero gear you can receive by collecting money in your box. This year, we are also encouraging students to set up an online page to receive donations, so that our school can make the biggest impact ever for the mission of LLS. Our goal is to raise $3,000! Each class is setting a goal to raise $300! When heroes work together, we can change cancer!

Why is this program important? Approximately every 3 minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with blood cancer. Leukemia is the number one most diagnosed form of childhood cancer. The money that we collect will help fund research. The donations will help fund researchers in 7 different countries!

Please fill up your fundraising box and bring it each week on Friday to add to the classroom collection box. To redeem the power ring and hero band, you should bring a signed coupon found on the parent letter along with your donation to school.

As a reminder, you can fundraise online, collect coins, cash and checks in your collection box!

Thank you for participating in Pennies for Patients!
