"Coins for Connecticut"

Hannah Cramer, a junior IB student at Northwestern, has set up a designated bank account and created a non-profit fundraiser for Sandy Hook Elementary School titled "Coins for Connecticut." With the full support of her family, in particular, her mom, Lisa, who teaches at Rawlinson Road, Hannah began this project over the Christmas break. She encourages everyone to observe March 14 as the three-month anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting and honor the lives of the students and staff whose lives were lost on December 14.

       During spring break Hannah and her mother will personally deliver a check to Sandy Hook Elementary School. As of Feb. 28, donations amounting to $1,500 had been received, but many district employees would like to contribute. If you're one of them, please send a check, payable to Coins for Connecticut, to P.O. Box 36776, (Rock Hill, SC 29732) by March 26. A $5 donation is recommended, but all contributions will be greatly appreciated.
