In addition, we want to give special recognition to Jerry Hempfield who earned an Honorable Mention with a super 11 points.

Game Changers
Duchenne is an aggressive form of muscular dystrophy diagnosed in early childhood. Sadly, it causes the loss of muscle function at a catastrophic rate. While most kids are growing stronger and participating in sports, kids with Duchenne are losing their ability to play sports, to walk, to carry their backpacks and to hug their friends. Team Joseph continues to work to change that!
Our students collect money over a two-week period. Final due date: Friday, May 25th The money can come from friends and neighbors, lemonade stands, allowances, under the couch cushions or anywhere else spare change is hiding. Through this simple action, students help Team Joseph fund critical research and have the joy of knowing that they’re changing lives.
Student will be bring home an note with more information on Team Joseph and coin collection box Monday, May 14th.
