 A message from Mr. Gangemi and Mr. Farfaglia:

WANT A CHANCE TO HELP SHAVE OUR HEADS???

Once again this year, Mr.Farfaglia and I will be shaving our heads for St. Baldrick's in order to raise money for childhood cancer research. Students will be encouraged to make donations in order to earn a chance at helping Mr. Farfaglia and I shave our heads. Bring in a cash donation with your ticket in an envelope and give it to your teacher in order to be entered in a drawing by Wednesday, MARCH 24th. On Wednesday, March 24th, Mr. Farfaglia and I will each be picking a student name out of a hat to see who will help with the head shaves!

If would like to join in and donate online, here are our links!
