Among the many Penny for Patient participants are (l-r) Kinsey Kriner, Chloe Keeports, Lilah Drager, Joshua Krieder, Dalton Mulhollem, Benjamin Kendall, Lara Hummer, and Alisia Alvarez who proudly display the change collected during the final day of the Rheems Elementary School’s Pennies for Patients campaign.
To raise the money, students, faculty, and staff were asked to bring in spare change. Incentives to collect included a pizza party for the classroom collecting the most pennies and an ice cream party for the classrooms collecting the second and third most pennies. After all the pennies were counted, this year’s top collecting classroom was the first grade classroom of Shirley Sellers, which raised a total of $621.47. The third grade classrooms of Jennifer Styer and Jean Douglas earned the ice cream parties tallying $487.47 and $405.64 respectively.
