Fund raising and service project information

Hello!
Student Council is teaming up with Dunkin Donuts (owned by a Pennoyer family) to bring you a special on their one pound ground coffee. I have included the flyer that will go in the Pennoyer Weekly tomorrow. And just as an added bonus, Student Council will be contributing 1/2 of the earnings to the Heifer International program. So buy that coffee and help out both our school and the service project.

Thank you,
Pam
