Coins for Cancer fundraiser - Pajama day

Help Student Council put cancer to bed!

Bring in a one-dollar donation tomorrow, October 9th and wear your pajamas to school!

Pajamas need to be school-appropriate and not distract from others' learning.

Student Council thanks you for your support of the Coins for Cancer fundraiser.
