L.....bulletin...K-Kids New Project....2/2/15

What an absolutely exhillerating assembly, DeZavala Elementary School Friday afternoon, January 30th. The entire school body, every class, every teacher, the principal, kitchen workers...everybody, to listen to Kayla Shook, the Faculty Advisor for the K-Kids at DeZavala. She was proposing a project of magnanimous importance, sponsored by the K-Kids. It was called ",Pennies for Patients" a program developed by "The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society" and the money raised will benefit children who have leukemia or any other type of cancer. Pam Nelson, from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society explained in great detail how "Pennies for Patients" will work. All the children have to do is to begin saving their small change and put it in a special box, which will be given to them, and when that box is full, bring it back to school, and it will be emptied into another larger box. "One penny Makes a Difference" . The kids were absolutely ecstatic about doing this project, and so were the teachers, and so will be our Kiwanis Club. We only had four Kiwanians there, Del Brown, Randy Cook, Doug Balkman and Marie Brown, but they were fired up about this project too. I know we are going to hear more about this as time goes on. As a footnote: The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services. Their mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma and improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
