A Math-a-Thon for good! Ten Southern Oaks Middle School students pledged to complete math problems in return for sponsor pledges to help children who face cancer.
Together Jordan E., Miracle B., Meghann F., Miranda R., Ashley B., James G., Cody G., Hector, Hannah C, and Alexander C. raised a total of $877.15. We are so proud of these Talons and Accipiters Team sixth graders!
Their hard work, commitment and math skills will help provide free medical care and treatment to children at the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Care is provided to children with cancer free of charge. The hospital provides all transportation costs to and from the hospital. The Target and Ronald McDonald Houses provide housing, and families are given food vouchers during their stay. Just imagine what a godsend this can be to families who must worry about the health and well-being of their child!
If these Southern Oaks Middle School sixth graders have motivated you to give, more information can be found at www.mathathon.org and www.stjude.org.
FOLLOW UP: An additional $50 was raised by another student, bringing our total to $927! Thank you for all your hard work.
