Student Reporter News: Socks for CF



Samantha L. reports on a recent fundraiser to raise money for a good cause:

On Monday, October 6, students were allowed to wear crazy socks for a $0.50 or more donation.  We are raising money to help put an end to CF, Cystic Fibrosis.  Cystic Fibrosis is a disease that affects mostly the lungs but also the pancreas, liver, and intestine.  Difficulty breathing is the most serious symptom and results from frequent lung infections.  Also, this affects the child's life span.  All proceeds will be put towards a foundation for finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.  The Sakamoto family personally knows a nine year old boy named Charlie with Cystic Fibrosis, and OLS is donating all proceeds for Socks for CF in his name.  Let's end CF together!   --Samantha L.
