BCM is working toward collecting a ton of pennies (and nickels and dimes and quarters, and dollars, too) to support the Leukemia And Lymphoma Society’s program, Pennies For Patients.

Your child will be bringing home a collection box. [please help them to collect as many coins as possible. This really helps your child learn the meaning of “helping others.” If your child does not bring a box home, check with his/her teacher.

All donations are due back to your child’s teacher by Friday, February 8th.
