Pennies for Patients is a yearly campaign that benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Once again our campus facilitator this year is our own Coach Mendez! This year, we honored two Cancer Survivors from our Freedom staff: Mrs. Hurtado, computer lab aide, and Ms. Roberts, art teacher. Freedom collected $2080 dollars this year, which bumps our total up to $12,000.00 in the past 9 years, including this year. All Freedom classes compete to see who can bring in the most pennies! This year’s 1st place class winner was Ms. Breland’s class. The 2nd place winner was Mrs. Chulo’s class, and the 3rd place winner was Mrs. Morales’ class.
Ms. Breland’s class will get a luncheon sponsored by the Olive Garden Italian Restaurant! Congratulations to them, and to all the students at Freedom Elementary for donating to such a worthy cause! Freedom students ROCK!!
