The Shelter Island High School’s National Honor Society (NHS) hosted a fundraising drive for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
The Elementary School’s Hero Squad brought in a total of $248.21, mostly in coins, which were processed through a Coinstar machine.
The top honors went to the 5th grade, which brought in the following: 147 quarters, 72 dimes, 109 nickels, 1,625 pennies and $90 in bills for a grand total of $155.65.
The coins were donated directly through the Coinstar machine, and the bills will be converted to a check for the donation.
