Students at Salem Lutheran School, Greenfield, Minn., collected pennies in February to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. After three weeks of bringing their change to school, the students raised $2,670. “I am so proud of our students,” says Principal Matt Meitner. “They did a great job of giving selflessly to help children and others battling blood cancer.” When the students reached their fundraising goal, three teachers kept true to their promises: two shaved their heads and one dyed her hair.

Happy anniversary! The following professors at Martin Luther College, New Ulm, Minn., celebrated anniversaries in April: Prof. Lawrence Olson (25), Dr. John Nolte (40), Prof. Ronald Brutlag (40), Prof. Richard Ash (40), and Prof. John Gronholz (40).
