Thank you for supporting COINS FOR A CAUSE!!!
Our Coins for a Cause drive was wildly successful! Congratulations to 5th grade for raising the most money. They will have an additional $50 donated to the Basehor Linwood Education Foundation 100% of the donations went to these wonderful organizations and we are proud to support their efforts!
Kindergarten - Ronald McDonald House. $193.41
1st Grade - Children's Mercy $267.13
2nd Grade - The Well Center for Hope $192.13

4th Grade - Joy Meadows $118.03
5th Grade - Basehor-Linwood Education Foundation $852.19 + $50 bonus donation for raising the most money for their charity.
Due to the generosity of an anonymous donor, each grade that did not collect at least $200 will have their donation added to so that every organization will receive a minimum of $200 from OUR GRAY HAWKS! Thank you for your willingness to dig deep and give back to OUR COMMUNITY!

GRAY HAWK NEURO-NEWS
How is ongoing, severe stress and adversity in early childhood connected to chronic disease in adults? And, what can we do about it? In this animated video, narrated by Center on the Developing Child Director Jack P. Shonkoff, M.D., learn what the latest science tells us about how early experiences affect not only early learning and school readiness, but also lifelong health. Understand the effects of adversities such as poverty, discrimination, systemic racism, exposure to violence, and child maltreatment, abuse, and neglect on the developing brain and many other systems in the body.
