Kindergarten students make gift to Foundation

To celebrate the 100th day of school, students in Mrs. Molly Kus’ kindergarten class at Lakeview Elementary School in Negaunee collected pennies for a fund-raiser to aid the Upper Michigan Brain Tumor Center at Marquette General Hospital.

The students raised money for this cause in honor of Mrs. Kus, who was operated on at Marquette General and is recovering from brain cancer.
