NORTHBOROUGH – As the fifth graders at Lincoln Street School graduated from elementary school on June 21, the students were recognized for their fundraising efforts.

The students presented a check for $1,274.49 to Sarah Potter, who is the area manager for ALSAC/St. Jude’s.

According to Potter, the donation will go toward No More Chemo parties, in which patients, families, friends, doctors and nurses celebrate the end of a patient’s treatment.

“They sing a song and shower them with tons of confetti. The song ends with, ‘Pack up your bags, get out the door, you don’t need chemo anymore,’” said Potter.

She continued, “We want to thank you all because you, with this donation, are providing so many kids and families with that No More Chemo party.”
