Does your school have a personal connection with Leukemia, Lymphoma or Myeloma? Would you like to implement a service learning experience for your class/school New Years resolution? Well there is still time to conduct a Pennies for Patients® program at your school this year! If you’re not familiar with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s School & Youth Programs, they are service and philanthropy programs that give students a unique experience making a difference through teamwork – working together to aid thousands of children and adults in the fight against blood cancers like leukemia. Typically students collect spare change over a 3 week period in honor of a local student, blood cancer survivor. Additionally, many schools choose to implement educational activities provided by LLS including kick-off assemblies and service learning modules. LLS provides all the materials your school needs to run the program and depending on your school’s preference, there are prizes and awards for classrooms and schools that participate. Leukemia is still the most lethal for of cancer in children; join the 12 million schools across the country who are Making Change, Beat Cancer!

Here you can find a complete packet of information relating to the poster contest. Each school will be responsible for selecting one winning poster per 5th grade class that participates. The Florida Department of Education, Florida Department of Law Enforcement/Missing Endangered Persons Information Clearinghouse (FDLE/MEPIC), AMBER Alert partners, and other organizations will work together to select a winner to represent the State of Florida. The FDLE/MEPIC will submit the winning poster to the U.S. Department of Justice for the national judging.
