Pennies for Patients

Pennies for Patients benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Students work together to aid thousands of adults and children in their fight against blood cancers. 

Students will collect spare change during a three week period. The change can come from friends, family or underneath the couch cushions. The most important thing is that change is collected!

We have a collection box in our room that your child will be able to put their money into it. All coins and bills will be accepted. It does NOT have to be only pennies! 

Collection Weeks:
February 3-7
February 10-14
February 17-21

Round up your spare change and lets help in the fight against cancer!

There will be a prize for the class that collects the most money!!

Introducing...Nais Chipper Lukens

My maternity leave has officially come to an end and I so appreciate your understanding during this time. I was truly able to enjoy my time with Nais, but am excited to be back to teaching your child. 

Below are a few pictures of my little sweetie.

 Born on November 26, 2013 at 4:17 P.M.
6 lb. 9 oz.

20 1/4 in

A little about how he got his name:

Nais is from James Naismith (inventor of basketball and legendary coach at KU) and Chipper is from Chipper Jones (Landon's all time favorite baseball player for the Atlanta Braves). 

Our happy little family...we are so incredibly blessed!

Thank you again for being so understanding during my time at home with Nais. I hope you enjoyed the pictures!
