Fundraiser for childhood cancer: September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.  Mrs. Pykosh’s School Energy and Recycling Team is asking students and parents to collect your spare change and send it in for the Coins4Kids program (https://www.coins4kids) benefitting the Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation (http://www.cncfhope.org/).
