How We're Doing Money-Wise

NJHS (National Junior Honor Society) hosted a dance for Sparta Middle School students on Thursday, January 20th. All the proceeds went to the American Lung Association. Sparta Middle School's NJHS raised $500! We have a total of $1,100!! That is about 15% of the goal! We're well on our way. Thanks Sparta Middle School!

Who and Why

Margaret Peters and her husband, John Lemke, are preparing to ride across America on bikes. They will travel 3,300 miles in 7 weeks. They are doing this because John's father died when he was in his 50's from lung cancer. Margaret has asthma, and one of her favorite students has asthma. The rate of asthma among children is rising astronomically, and we need to find out why. Margaret wants to be a good example for her students, by being physically fit.
