When someone has a blood cancer they have to go through treatment for a long time. Sometimes as long as 3 years. Today is day 3 of our Pennies for Patients fund-raiser. The homeroom in each grade that donates the most money over 3 weeks will earn a pizza party. Together we're making a difference in the fight for a cure. Is there a pizza party in your future?
Mrs. O'Connor, Mrs. Sparano, Mr. Hampton and Mrs. Crothamel think so!! They're all getting their boxes counted in the morning!

Do you have any slightly used sports equipment at home? Such as balls, jump ropes, gloves, and hula hoops. Would you like to help school aged children who do not have this kind of equipment to use to recess. The Student Council is supporting an equipment drive called “Kick it up for Recess.” They will be collecting new and gently used recess supplies for inner city schools. The program is sponsored by United Way, and the United Way Club at Conestoga. Your donations can be dropped off all next week in the boxes in the Student Council Corner. A list of items will be posted in classrooms and on the bulletin board of the Student Council Corner. The Student Council thanks you for your support.
