MiniTHON Corner
ICYMI : In case you missed it!
The theme for this year’s Mini-THON was announced -- “Glow in the Dark” won, as voted on by the 4th & 5th grade classes. The winning t-shirt design was by Hearth Patel - congratulations and nice work Hearth! We’re all excited to “PUT CANCER IN THE DARK” at Mini-THON on Friday, February 23.
To kick-off the Mini-THON fun, several random winners were drawn for FTK drawstring bags. We’ll have more prizes and winners throughout the month and during Penny Wars week, Feb 19-23. Also, stay tuned for free-registration information being sent home.
It’s going to be a lot of fun, and it’s all FTK - For The Kids - battling cancer at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital! It’s great to see our students getting excited about making a difference for a good cause.
Donations can be made anytime by sending in a check to school (payable to East Hanover PTO, with Mini-THON in the memo). Online donations can also be made here:
