The National Latin Honor Society Club at Reservoir High School has some new members. They are Ewan Ball, Brooke Chestlo, Liam Engman, Fatima Koroma, Kenai Lavine, Jarod Liberty, Braden Lynch, Amanda O'Shaughnessy, Sachi Rai, Emily Rowell, Timmy Schinner and Maggie Winkler.
These students have maintained "A" averages in their Latin classes. Congratulations.
Did you know it costs 1.8 cents to make one penny? Not a good deal for U.S. taxpayers. On the other hand, you probably have pennies lying around the house, in jars or drawers, collecting dust and corrosion. If you want to find a new location for those pennies, here's one: the students and staff at Fulton Elementary School are joining over 30,000 schools nationwide in "Pennies for Patients".
Sponsored by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, whose mission to find a cure for these diseases, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families, coins collected during this drive will be used to help families of patients with various expenses.
The class that collects the most money will win their very own pasta party at the school. Lauren Valente is also looking for parent volunteers. You can reach her via email at Lauren_Valente@hcpss.org.
One last item of interest to the kiddies: the last day of school for the county school system is Friday, June 19.
