More than 250 schools in Mississippi participated in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Pennies For Patients Program. It allows students to develop compassion and learn the value of helping others while they are working for a good cause. For three weeks in February, schools collected coins to raise money to help find cures for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s Disease, myeloma research and for patient services.

Newton County Elementary School in Decatur was second overall in fund-raising with a $5,473.57.

With an outstanding amount of determination and compassion, students across the state raised more than $181,000 for the benefit of blood cancer research and patient services.

To register for Pennies for Patients 2007 or to learn about other events for the society, call Lisa at (601) 956-7447.

Watching students succeed highlight of Dr. Phil Sutphin’s tenure at ECCC
    Of all the accomplishments during Dr. Phil A. Sutphin’s 12-year tenure as East Central Community College’s seventh president, his fondest memory is a simple one: watching students graduate.
    “Whether it is a commencement in May, a GED graduation ceremony or a healthcare pinning, the joy and sense of accomplishment is evident on all faces – students, families and faculty,” Sutphin said. “After all, is that not the college’s mission?”
    Sutphin, who announced his retirement plans at the November 2011 meeting of the college’s Board of Trustees, will have completed 42 years in education when he officially steps down on June 30.
