Jefferson Elementary School teachers, from left, Jen Jung, third grade; Crystal Hoerner, kindergarten; Kayla Hecker, second grade; and Amber Adams, first grade, are covered in Cool Whip after they dipped their faces in pies during an awards assembly in Jefferson Elementary in Dickinson on Thursday afternoon. The assembly concluded a Pennies for Patients fundraiser, with the students and faculty raising $2,856.57 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The fundraiser was inspired by school counselor Amanda Fisher, whose mother, Robbie Duttenhefer is battling lymphoma. American Bank Center-north kept count of the pennies.
