Students at Grace Day School in Massapequa raised over $400 to help patients with leukemia and lymphoma. Under the direction of teacher, Joe Barbato,MoneyForCancer_040815A they participated in a program called “Pennies for Patients,” in which they joined students across the country by collecting pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters over a three-week period.

Their goal was to reach $300, but they were very happy and surprised to learn that they had passed their goal amount by more than 25 percent.
