Owens ES Pasta for Pennies Fundraiser


Lauren Berkshire’s homeroom class at Owens ES raised the most money in the school—more than $400 for the Pasta for Pennies fundraiser to fight children’s leukemia.


The Owens ES student council hosted a three-week “Pasta for Pennies” drive in February and March to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), and students rose to the challenge in a big way.

Homeroom classrooms competed to bring in $6,400 for the organization. The LLS will spotlight Owens in an upcoming newsletter as being one of the biggest school fundraisers of the year.

Lauren Berkshire’s fifth-grade homeroom class was the top fundraiser, with more than $400 in donations as a class. Ms. Berkshire’s class won a pasta party from Olive Garden that they will enjoy on field day.
