AMS Raises Money for the Children of
LeBonheur in Memory of Denise Adams
BLMS Names Top Spelling,
Geography Students
By Jennifer Beasley, Student Council Sponsor
The Arlington Middle
Student Council recently held
its annual Pennies for Penguins
fundraiser for LeBonheur
Children’s Hospital.
This year AMS dedicated
this fundraiser to the memory of
fallen LeBonheur employee
Denise Adams, also a former
AMS parent.
Homeroom classes raised
money during the week of
November 4-8, with the hope of
raising a minimum of $100
each, and $9,000 school
wide. By week’s end, AMS
raised $6,817 for the children of
LeBonheur in the memory of
Denise Adams.
The homerooms that raised
the most money by grade level
were: 6th grade: Mrs. Smith
with $221.55; 7th grade: Ms.
Jeter’s homeroom with $501.56
(the overall school leader); and
Mrs. Valentine in the 8th grade
raised $325.17.

Penguins donated by students at AMS on display at the
Penguin Pond at the Pink Palace museum.
While we fell short of our
school goal of $9,000 this year,
we take pride in our long-term
partnership with a hospital that
gives so much to the children
and families of our community.
Stuffed animal penguins will
also be delivered to LeBonheur
patients as a result of this
fundraiser. Thanks to all the
AMS families who donated so
generously to this cause.
