Happy 9th Birthday Hannah
{{{{{{{{{{{

Hannah's birthday was Friday, June 6th...which is why I have been too busy to update her blog. What a day she had! How many kids have the ENTIRE school wearing party hats (Hannah designed her own hat for the day, and even the lunch ladies had hats on), telling her Happy Birthday, announcing her name over the speakers during the day, posting birthday wishes throughout the hallways and get a $2460 present????

YES--- $2,460!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Friday was the school fundraiser, Hats on for Hannah, raising money for Hannah's Cans for Cancer. In order to win the challenge from Anna and Pine School in Indiana, our school had to raise $2,300! They did it, coming in just under the wire at 3pm with $2,460. How awesome is that? As the student council announced, Hannah is making a difference and we can too! This fundraiser was such a well run event by the student council and their teacher leaders Mrs. Krakowka and Mrs. Abbott. They both had tears in their eyes when they brought the money down to Hannah after school. Everyone there should be so proud of what they accomplished together to help other kids with cancer. I know we are so proud of them all and so grateful.

Hannah said to me after seeing how much was raised that we have to do something "really special" for the kids with cancer. We'll be talking to Childlife at the hospital and other kids with cancer to get their input, and we would love yours too! Please write in and let us know your ideas here on the blog.

More pictures tomorrow, having trouble loading them tonight.
