An eighth grade QUEST group at Cooper Middle School raised more than $2,000 for blood cancer research through the Pennies for Patients organization. Penny collections took place in QSTs from March 12 through March 23. Other QST classes were able to sabotage each other with any silver coins or bills. Students also raised more than $500 for “Stuck For A Buck.” Stuck For A Buck raised money by selling tape to tape a teacher or student to the wall.
