The Honor Council would like to thank parents and students for contributing to Pennies for Patients. We collected a little over 10,000 coins and some paper money, too! The grand total raised by The Williams School for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was $681.47. Any school that raises over $500 can receive $50 for a celebration party or donate the $50 to Pennies for Patients, which TWS will be doing. You are teaching our children that every little bit counts. Together, we can make a difference.
Thank you, again!!!
