September is childhood cancer awareness month and the Nipmuc student body is taking part in a month long challenge to fill as many boxes as they can with non-perishable items to donate to the food pantry at Why Me and Sherry's House in Worcester, MA.
Why Me and Sherry's House is a nonprofit that helps families coping with childhood cancer. At this time, Sherry's House is hosting 4 families that are undergoing treatment for pediatric cancer. Help us by donating a non-perishable item! You or your Nipmuc student can bring in the item through the month of September in recognition of childhood cancer awareness month. Please leave all items in the front lobby.
Thank you in advance for your support! If you have any questions please reach out to Ms. Annunziata at jannunziata@mursd.org.
