This month the Ganado Elementary School K-5 will be joining 29,000 other schools nationwide in the fight
against blood cancer. For the next few weeks, we will help people who are sick with blood cancers like
leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Students will be taking boxes home to collect coins and other donations. Our school goal is to raise over a $1,000. If any class raises $100-$199 they will earn a Bronze Pennant; $200-$299 they will earn a Silver Pennant; $300 (or more) they will earn a Gold Pennant. IF our
school raises more than $500, the top fundraising classroom will win a pizza party. This is national educational program designed to teach children about their value as contributors to society, so let’s make a
difference. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CALL 928-755-1200 and ask for MRS. TSINIJINNIE (3rd Grade
Teacher) or MS. CARDY (Nurse).
