Pasta for Pennies Presented by Olive Garden is a service learning, character education and philanthropy program that gives students a unique experience making a difference through teamwork--working together to aid thousands of children and adults in the fight blood cancers like leukemia.
We had a huge kickoff on Monday at school. We got to listen to a speaker, Ms. Holland, who is a leukemia survivor. She taught us about the way blood cells work in our body, and told us how by saving some pennies, we can help people with blood cancers, just like people helped her!
This year we are collecting money exclusively online at the link found below. Each child in the past has been encouraged to bring in at least a few pennies by helping around the house or asking family members to donate. Because of it being only online, I am challenging each student to find at least one donor (just one! =]) to contribute to this fabulous program! I can't wait to see how much Room 123 can raise!!
