Please read on to learn about our first "event" of the
year.
Please join Beta Club in launching a battle against breast
cancer.
As you may know, breast cancer is a cause near and dear to our
hearts here at SCBS. We have several teachers who have
waged successful fights against this horrible disease, as well as
one who lost her battle.
This year,
SCBS will join the battle against breast cancer. Theresa
(McDonough) Peterson, a graduate of SCBS, has recently been
diagnosed with breast cancer. She is known and loved by
many here, and still has family attending our school.
Theresa will be represented by TEAM THERESA at the Walk for Hope
in Philadelphia on Sunday, October 14. Beta Club has
decided to champion this cause by waging PENNY WARS to support
Theresa and her team.
PENNY WARS
will run from Wed., October 10 through Wed., October 17.
The objective is for each homeroom to collect as many pennies as
possible. However, some strategy is involved. In the
mornings before school, students may drop silver coins into other
homerooms’ penny jars. The dollar amount of the silver
coins is then deducted from the dollar amount in pennies.
The homeroom (one on each floor) with the greatest dollar total
will be awarded a DRESS DOWN DAY!
So, get
out there and empty your piggy banks, dig under those couch
cushions, and check the cup holders in mom’s car
because…PENNY WARS are about to begin!
