Ivy students collect change for charity

I am the librarian at Ivy High School, and during these last three weeks, I organized a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to raise money for their cause.

Students were asked to contribute their pocket change on a daily basis. We encouraged them to look for change in their cars and couches. The program I picked is called "Pasta for Pennies," whereby Olive Garden will provide a pasta lunch for the classroom that raised the most money. The library and Mrs. Walker's second period class were the winners, and our students will be enjoying a pasta lunch for their effort.

We have less than 140 students at our school, but managed to raise $301.32 by collecting pocket change. I am very proud of our students and want to congratulate all participating Ivy students for their effort!
