PENNIES FOR PATIENTS – Hey Sierra Vista, our FINAL turn in day for Penny Wars is Thursday, April 26th, during brunch in the quad. Don’t forget that:  pennies are NEGATIVE points and silver change/bills/checks/ and online donations are POSITIVE points. Checks should be made to the “Leukemia and Lymphoma Society” with the team name written on the check. The team that earns the most positive points per student gets a pizza party!!! Keep collecting that change!
