Taking Down Cancer

Jan25

Georgetown families showed tremendous support for our building community service project, “Takin Down Cancer-Community for a Cure.”

It took four trips into the bank on Friday to deposit the coins and cash raised. Our school raised over $1,000 on Friday alone. WOW!

For the week Georgetown brought in $2,784.85 by collecting coins, cash donations and having a couple of class coin wars. If you add in the the monies acquired through t-shirt sales bought by staff and a few students we raised well over $3,000.00.

The organizers of the event are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support by our Georgetown family and are extremely appreciative.

As a teenager involved in the event said, “Your school is the BOSS!,” and ” You are my hero’s.”

Well, I think that sums it up! :)

Thanks again for yet another successful building community service project!
