The character trait for March will be caring. Caring means kindness, empathy and generosity towards others. Students will have an opportunity to demonstrate their caring traits by participating in Pennies for Patients. Students may bring in pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters or dollars to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Pennies for Patients starts on Monday, March 1, 2010 and goes through Friday, March 19, 2010. To kick-off the event, any student who donates on Monday, March 1, will be allowed to wear a school appropriate hat or cap! (In honor of the children who lose their hair as they undergo chemotherapy while battling leukemia).
