Pennies for Patients
Ends Friday, April 12

Thank you everyone who has raised money for Student Council's fundraiser. CCA Student Council is helping kids with cancer and the doctors and scientists who are researching a cure get funding to do so. Together, we raised $992.45 in the second week, bringing our total raised to $1649.79.
Student Council's goal is to raise $4,000. If Student Council reaches that goal, there will be a pretty epic all school event at the end of the year.
This is our last week to raise money, so please get those donations in by Friday, April 12.
The class who raises the most money will get a free lunch from Olive Garden and a Pennies for Patients Swag Bag! Mrs. Tench's class is in the lead with $259.21 raised so far.
If Student Council exceeds their $4,000 goal, all CCA students will get a free dress day!
