Pritchett students recently participated in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's "Pennies for Patients" program to benefit those with blood cancer as well as fund research for these children.

During a three week period in February, students, staff, and families donated pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters to raise $980. This year's amount was close to $200 more than last year's. Thank you to Nancy Connor and her second grade class for coordinating the program and to the Pritchett Panthers for the generous donations.
