Today's ag question:  Name the 5 main food groups.

 

Today we join more than 25, 000 schools nationwide in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Pennies for Patients program.  For the next three weeks, we will be helping people who are sick with blood cancers like leukemia.  All you have to do is collect coins and put them in your classroom's collection jar.  Remember that every penny you donate can help save a life.  Our school goal is to raise $750.  Does your classroom have a goal?  If you shop at Old Navy,  Banana Republic or Gap, we have 30% off coupons in the office.  They are only valid March 17-20, so get yours today.  5% of purchase price goes to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.
