Coins & Cash for CHOC

Thank you to every family and student who donated during our Coins & Cash drive for CHOC last week. Our goal was $1,000 (enough to donate one new book for every Andersen student), and we ended up raising over $1,500! We'll be delivering hundreds of new books to CHOC on behalf of our Andersen Dolphins very soon.

As a thank you for exceeding our school-wide goal, each class has earned 10 minutes of extra recess, which teachers will schedule over the next couple of weeks. 

A special thank you to Dr. Lewis, our teachers, and our student council for their support, and to our Andersen families for helping make a hospital stay a little easier for kids in our community. Start saving your loose change for next year!
