As an incentive for students to participate, a pizza party was promised to the two highest classroom collections and popsicles for all. However, as time went by and the totals began to climb, the teacher’s room was buzzing with pride over the s tu d e n ts ’ g en ero u s contributions and a decision was made to honor the entire school with a pizza party donated by Collier’s Market in lone. “I ended up learning more from the students and am touched with the effort students put out for this cause,” Orem added as she and her students carried cans of coins into the bank.
