Start collecting pennies and other loose change to support The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Pennies for Patients Campaign!

Special collection boxes and other program materials went home in student backpacks last week. Students can fill up the box with loose change from family and friends and return it to their classroom any time between January 14 and February 1.

This is the ninth year that Stillmeadow is participating in this program. Remember, every penny, nickel, dime, quarter or dollar donated will help save a life.
