[October 31, 2024]   In the month of October, area elementary schools throughout the county were invited to participate in Coins for a Cause in support of the American Cancer Society and breast cancer awareness month.

The event was sponsored by the Friends & Family Relay Team and Lincoln Daily News. The schools that participated included Adams School, Carroll Catholic School, Central School, Chester East Lincoln, Lincoln Junior High School, Northwest School in Lincoln, and Zion Lutheran School in Mt. Pulaski.

In total the schools raised $1619.79 for the American Cancer Society and the school that raised the most was Lincoln Junior High School, raising nearly one third of the total amount.

Within each school there was an additional or part two competition to see what single classroom among all would raise the most money. The classroom that did raise the most received a pizza party from Lincoln Daily News.

The classrooms that raised the most money within their schools:

Mrs. Boutcher’s Kindergarten Class at Adams School

Miss Hite’s third and fourth grade class at Carroll Catholic

Mts. Tippett’s fourth grade class at Central School

Mrs. Barley’s third grade class at Chester-East Lincoln School

Mrs. Sharp's Kindergarten class at Northwest School

Mrs. Whitson’s fifth and sixth grade class at Zion Lutheran in Mt. Pulaski

And the class that raised the most and earned the pizza party was Miss Lee’s 6th grade class at Lincoln Junior High School.

Thank you to all the schools and students who participated in this year’s event. Your hard work and giving attitude are much appreciated!
