Longfellow students joined the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to raise pennies for patients

One of our own students at Longfellow is currently battling Leukemia. This was the motivating factor that helped propel Longfellow students and their families to raise $2,538.81 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Our students worked diligently for two weeks to raise the aforementioned money. Many of our classes made it a personal goal to bring in as much change as possible during the two weeks to help out Leukemia patients, but more importantly to make a difference for our own student dealing with this form of cancer. We would like to thank all of the students and their families for making a difference by bringing in pennies for patients! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much to all of our families that made this event a success. Students also enjoyed the event that included our own DJ Cuellar playing the latest and greatest hits as students jumped rope. Ms. Cortes and many of our teachers also joined in the fun.
