Joy Jar Update

Written By: Feng V - Mar• 31•13

To date, OLQA school has raised over $3,400 for the NEGU Foundation through Student Council bake sales, the Sponsor-A-Jar program and classroom coin drives. Additionally, we have collected over 400 pairs of socks, nearly 300 boxes of crayons and markers, over 400 games and toys and 221 packs of playing cards!

Our goal has been to assemble one Joy Jars or Joy Bag per student, which will be distributed to pediatric patients undergoing cancer treatments. That’s nearly 480 Joy Jars or Bags to help put smiles on those patients’ faces.  We are close to making that goal! To make a donation or Sponsor-A-Jar, please contact Student Enrichment Co-Chairs, Jen Awad or Christie McKenna. Thank you to these wonderful ladies for bringing this opportunity to our students and supporting a great cause.

Students will be assembling the Joy Jars and Bags on June 4th.  Please contact Mrs. Awad if you would like to volunteer.
