Pennies For Patients
2008-2009 School Year
Our Pennies For Patients charity drive ran from April 27 through May 15, 2009. All money contributed went to the Youth Division of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help children who are afflicted with blood cancer. The results are now in and the IS 281 family raised $9,513.92!!! Out of over 350 NYC schools that participated this year our contribution was NUMBER 1!!! We could not be prouder of the generosity of our school community. Thanks to all students, parents and teachers who made a commitment to this worthy cause. We will certainly be having a charity drive next year so start saving those pennies (or more). Please click on the attached link for the CBS radio interview that brought some attention to our "caring school".
