Students from the Upper Moreland Primary School were able to raise more than 10 times the amount they originally planned in Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Pasta for Pennies program sponsored by Olive Garden.
In the course of three weeks, the students raised over $11,000, when the original goal was set at $1,000. The students achieved their goal by collecting spare change in small boxes given out by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Since the students did such a great job raising money, Olive Garden decided to provide free lunches to the top three classrooms. Those classrooms are:
- Mrs. Speer's 1st Grade class
- Mr. Carroll's Kindergarten class
- Mrs. Hall's 2nd Grade class
Students in these classes will have their catered lunches on Thursday, April 11 at noon.
