Led by the Interact Club, Lampeter-Strasburg High School students collected $5,387 in change in just one week for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). The club held the Pennies for Patients fundraising drive in March and solicited donations through a variety of activities.

Several teachers pitched in by shaving their heads and/or holding classroom competitions. Interact advisor Mr. Cooper also held popular cafeteria competitions in which the winning table was treated to lunch outside of school. The result was a donation that made L-S one of the top-giving schools in our whole region, contributing more than five times the average amount!
