“JAR WARS” COMPETITION RAISES MONEY FOR ANDREW

April 20, 2005 The Waynedale News Staff 0 min read

Waynedale Elementary Principal Kent Martz announces to students and staff that they have netted $3300 for Andrew Armstrong (seated). A kidney donor has not been found as of yet.

On Thursday, March 31, students at Waynedale Elementary School presented the proceeds from their most recent two-week fund raising project.

A “Jar Wars” competition, held March 14-25, netted $2,200. The monies raised will assist Andrew Armstrong’s family with medical expense money when a kidney becomes available for a transplant for the second grader.

Students and staff have been holding fund-raisers since the end of April. So far, they have netted $3300 through hat days and now they have been selling green bracelets that read, “Donate Life.”
