Sixth-grade students in Laura Koenig’s class at Wisdom Lane Middle School have raised approximately $3,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
During the annual St. Jude Math-a-Thon, participants sharpened their math skills while helping children with serious illnesses. For 26 years, Wisdom Lane Middle School has raised approximately $120,000 by encouraging its students to participate in the math-a-thon in which participants are sponsored by friends and family to solve math problems in a “fun book.”
Wisdom’s participation in the Math-A-Thon helps to provide the best possible medical care for patients, regardless of their ability to pay. In addition to the money raised, the students learned about the importance of helping others. Ms. Koenig is proud of all the students who participated in this annual event and is thankful for the support provided by the school staff.
