Pennies from Heaven

The 5th grade "Pennies from Heaven" Club collected spare change from LIS Students and Staff to benefit Homefront. The club collected $99.00 and Christine's Hope for Kids matched their contribution. On Thursday, May 10, representatives from Pennies from Heaven and Christine's Hope for Kids presented a check in the amount of $200.00 to Homefront. As always, we are proud of our LIS community's commitment to caring. Great job!
