COLIN POWELL ES: SCA Fights Childhood Cancer

SCA Fights Childhood Cancer

The SCA is excited to help fight childhood cancer by supporting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Pennies for Patients fundraiser from Monday, February 26th  to Friday, March 16th. Please talk to your children about the importance of giving back, see what donation your family would be comfortable making, and encourage your children to work for it by helping around the house over the next few weeks!  If you would like to donate by check, please make checks payable to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). To donate electronically please visit: http://events.lls.org/pages/nca/ColinPowellElementarySchool-2018

We have some special events planned as part of this fundraiser so please watch the Puma Press for more details.  Our first event is this Wednesday, February 28th.  Students are encouraged to “Skip a snack, save a life.”  We are asking students to skip buying the extras at lunch that day: no cookie, water, popcorn, etc. and to instead donate the amount they would have spent to their classroom donation box that day. 

If you have any questions, please contact our SCA sponsors, Laura Senturia (lesenturia@fcps.edu) or Missy Long (mdlong@fcps.edu).
