Pennies for Patients


Published on Tuesday, March 9, 2010 10:18 PM PST

Rio Vista Community Day School has joined schools nationwide in the Pennies for Patients program. “ The program  is a service learning program that saves lives. Our students are to bring spare change to school and donate it to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in honor of locally, or nationally, students who are blood cancer survivors,” said teachers Stacey Sanders. 

For the next few weeks Rio Vista CDS will be accepting donations from the community that may be brought to the Special Services Office at Wallace School, or given to one of our students to bring in. There will be a booth set-up at the Parent Activity Night, Thursday March 11 in the Wallace Cafeteria. Any donation large, or small, will be appreciated. For more information, call 760-379-4863.
