Students across the country are collecting pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters during the Pennies for Patients campaigns benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Students and faculty here at Gilbert are encouraged to do their part. Mr. Tipton has offered a pizza party as a reward for collecting the most money for the Society. Start collecting spare change. Look under the sofa cushion, in the car, or in the laundry room for coins. Bring in those pennies! We’ve already raised $4.38!
