My Students

Have you ever spent days sorting and counting coins? My students have, and they do it because they know its for a good cause. All the money they raise (over $2000.00) goes towards kids with cancer.

My students are the social leaders of the school; they are the "shot callers." These mature young adults are in charge of many large scale fundraisers at our school.

This leadership class, helps all of our students get along (we have a very diverse student body) and facilitates us all working together on common problems.

My Project

The students will be able to count the coins we get for coins for cancer easier and faster than the way we were previously doing it. We do lots of fundraisers to help our community and our school. One of these fundraisers is coins for cancer, where all of the proceeds go to LA Children's Hospital. We would like coin counters as well as coin rolls to help us achieve our goals.

This donation will help us so much.

It will also help the people in our community. My students would be greatly appreciative of your donation. I know they would see it as support, from others, of the work they are doing! Thank you.
