Photo caption: Seaford Middle School raised more than $1,800 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society through the Pennies for Patients program. The annual collection drive, organized by the National Junior Honor Society under the direction of adviser MaryLou Christenson (third from left), ran for three weeks. Students brought loose change and dollar bills to school every day. “You can save a life with every penny you donate,” said sixth-grader Gabriella Doris, who gave in memory of a relative who battled leukemia.
