Beginning 2/3/11 the elementary building will be participating in the “Gave From The Heart” pin-up program to benefit cystic fibrosis research.    During the month of February students can purchase a paper heart for a contribution of $1.00.  The names of the people who make the contribution will be written on the heart.  These hearts will be displayed outside of each classroom.  All proceeds collected will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  The classroom in grades K-2 and in 3-5 that sell the most hearts will be given a popcorn party.
