From March 23rd to April 7th Valencia students brought in coins, dollars, and checks for the Pennies for Patients fundraiser, directly supporting cancer research and treatment for children with Leukemia. Valencia students raised an amazing $1,088.23, and for surpassing the goal of $1000, every student contributing 50 cents or more got a piece of tape and the chance to tape Principal Higginbotham and Vice Principal Ertl to the wall during lunch hour.
