Pennies for Patients
Hi, Families!
The final countdown to our Pennies for Patients campaign has begun! Soon your child will attend a school kickoff for this exciting event. Make a note to ask him or her about it. A parent letter will also be heading your way as well, so be sure to check your child's backpack.
Help prepare your child for the campaign kickoff by taking these simple steps:
- If your school has a promotional video, watch it with your child and talk about the purpose of the Pennies for Patients program.
- Practice with your child how to ask family members, friends, and neighbors to consider making a donation. Donations can be made via your child's online giving page, his or her classroom or school page, or as cash donations. To learn more about giving online, click here.
- If you've haven't started collecting spare change at home, now's the time. Designate a change jar and start adding to it. When your child brings home his or her change box, you'll be that much closer to filling it up.
Pennies for Patients makes an even bigger difference than you may think.
If you don't know someone with a blood cancer, you probably know someone who has battled another form of cancer. More than 40% of new cancer therapies approved by the FDA between 2000 and 2015 were first approved for blood cancer patients but now help others as well. Working together on our Pennies for Patients campaign, we can turn our spare change into real help for real people!
If you have questions about Pennies for Patients, contact your child's teacher or our school program coordinator, Ms. Constantino (mconstantino@pdsd.org). Or visit LLS.org. Thanks to families like yours, we are that much closer to finding a cure for blood cancers.

8th
Grade Field Trip
As we are now entering April, the annual 8th Grade Field Trip has been planned. Students already received permission slip forms and information, which can also be found on both the 8th Grade Gold Team page and the 8th Grade Blue Team page. The trip will be on Thursday, May 25th and will be to the Maryland Science Center and the Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The cost of the trip will be $50.00 per person. We are looking for chaperones to attend so that students can be grouped with their friends. The cost is also $50.00 for chaperones. This trip is one that the students always look forward to and enjoy!
The parent chaperones are a huge part to this success! Parents do need to make sure they have their clearances and their volunteer form on file for the school, which need to be no older than 3 years old.
The information for the clearances can be found here.
For Parent to sign up please click here.
**Completing the form does not guarantee parents are selected; parents are selected on a first come and first serve basis according to the order of receiving money and clearances

The PBiS committee has created a new incentive to reinforce positive behavior at Northley. Every week, each principal has a golden ticket to bestow upon a student who exhibits our school's expectations. Each ticket is worth 30 positive behavior stamps. Be on your best behavior!
