This year, Steller Secondary has partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Pennies for Patients program to raise money to fund research in finding cures and therapies as well as provide information and support to those with leukemia and lyphomas.

We have until 4/3/2009 to collect as much spare change and financial donations as we can for this cause.

Please help our students save lives with the power of a penny! Along with spare change, you can send checks in with your student made payable to: LLS, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society or Pennies for Patients. You can also make a donation online in the name of your student and Advisory Group at www.schoolandyouth.org/wa/donate NOTE: leave both name fields blank and press enter. You will then be able to search a list of schools for Steller and make your tax deductible donation. Steller students are also selling Pennies for Patient Logos at lunch (see photo below).

Every penny counts! If we are able to raise at least $500, the top fundraising Advisory Group will win a pizza party!

If you are ever in need of resources to help someone with a blood cancer, please contact your school nurse or LLS. We would be honored to help. For more information regarding LLS, please visit www.schoolandyouth.org/wa or contact Barb Wodzin at barb.wodzin@LLS.org or 888-345-4572, ext. 113.

If you have questions or concerns regarding Steller’s Pennies for Patients fundraiser please contact Wendy Williams, School Nurse @ 742-4963 or williams_wendy@asdk12.org.
