During the month of April, NEHS collected money from teachers who wore jeans on Fridays. As a group, members decided to donate all proceeds to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. We discovered that Mrs. Hussong and Mrs. Saul will both participate in the Decatur to Peoria St. Jude run this summer, and in an effort to help with their fundraising goals, NEHS chose to honor these teachers by giving them a check for $367 to give to St Jude.
