PTF Sponsors Coins For Cupid
Every Penny Counts!!! Last Day is Wednesday
The annual "Coins for Cupid" fundraiser is raising money for Ronald McDonald House. Ronald McDonald House®, a program of Ronald McDonald House® Charities of Memphis is a "home-away-from-home" for families who are in Memphis while their child is receiving treatment for cancer or another catastrophic illness at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. All families stay completely free of charge. Just like in the past, students will have the opportunity to vote for their choice of who they would like to see as our CDS Cupid. Votes are made by simply dropping coins or dollar bills in the jar of their choice. Each cent counts as one vote, so a quarter equals 25 votes. Voting will continue until February 13. This year's Cupid candidates are basketball coach, Jay Foster, 8th grade teacher, Lisa Hughes, fourth grade teacher Ginger Bowles and PE teacher, Jenny Asbury. The winning Cupid will be revealed on February 14 (in a Cupid outfit, of course) at an assembly before the Valentine's parties. So, start collecting your spare change for a worthy cause!
