The Testing Center will be open Monday - Thursday during Supplemental time of ISTEP week.
It's that time of year again, and Pennies for Patients is just around the corner! Pennies for Patients (a competition hosted by your very own Student Government) is a school-wide fundraising event that raises money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, whose mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
From Monday, March 11 to Friday, March 22 , you and your fourth period class will be competing to see who can collect the most change (pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, etc.) to support this cause. But, here's the catch: other classes are allowed to "bomb" or take away your points by placing dollar bills instead of change into your Pennies for Patients box, so be on the lookout for some friendly competition and start collecting your pocket change now!
