Union's First Graders Collect Pennies For 'McDonald' House BY SUSAN USHER When first grade students at Union Elementary School in Shallotte celebrated the l(K)th day of school last Wednesday, there was no cake or candles?just loose change and lots of it. As 11 a.m. approached. Alyssa Granados and other students in Bonnie Stanley's class were count ing mounds of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters as quickly as their small hands could manage. So were their counterparts in four other classrooms, each class wondering who had collected the most money. Alyssa is one of approximately 150 first graders at the school taught by Cindy Covil, Amy Watkins, Mary Dawson, Edna Bellamy and Stanley. All pitched in to collect pennies and more. Shortly after 11 a.m. the Five classcs presented $224.41?the equivalent of 22,441 copper pen nies?to Dennis Anderson of Wilm ington, a McDonald's restaurant franchise owner and volunteer repre senting the four Ronald McDonald houses in North Carolina. It was Stanley's idea to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House and incorporate it into stu dents' studies. The notion caught on quickly, first in her own class, and then throughout the first grade as other classes joined the project. Classcs collected anywhere from $27.39 to a high by Stanley's class of $53.07. The children's love gift will go to the Ronald McDonald House that serves UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill, helping provide a homelike place for families to stay while a terminally or critically ill child is being treated ei ther as an inpatient or outpatient. "What you're contributing to is changing the direction of medical care," Anderson told the youngsters. "Love is a very strong component of the healing process, physical, mental and emotional. "I thank you from the depths of my heart because it is your nickels and dimes that make it happen." Love is one of the motivating fac tors of Ronald McDonald houses. The concept of the Ronald McDon ald House is to provide a friendly. warm, homelike place thai recalls "the way America used to he, a trusting nation," said Anderson. A container of coins rests by the pay telephone. Families stay at the cot tage on the honor system. A $5 per day donation is requested, hut par ents can stay even if they don't pay. Sometimes children are able to leave the hospital for weekend stays with their family at the house. The gift from Union first-graders will help people like fellow first grader Alyssa (iranados. who with members of her family has stayed at the Ronald McDonald House, Stan ley's nephew, A.J. Hewett, and the late Rebecca Russ. Alyssa was diagnosed with leuke mia at age 3, which marked the start of regular trips to the hospital for treatment. Today, sporting a Ronald McDon ald Mouse button on her sweater as a memento of past stays there, she is leukemia-free. Alyssa still returns to the hospital for regular check-ups; that's where she was to spend Valentine's Day. When the nurses draw samples of her blood for test ing, she said proudly, "I don't cry." A.J. was born prematurely and returns with his family regularly to Chapel Hill for medical treatment. "Now they can go to the Ronald McDonald House if they choose," Stanley told the mass of first graders last week. "You've helped Mrs. Stanley in a big way. If my nephew could s|iCiiK he would say a big 'thank you,'" she said. A week before the project ended. Stanley's class also met with Polly Russ of Shallotte, a Brunswick County Board of Education member who lost a daughter, Rebecca, to ter minal illness. When Rebecca was sick and un dergoing treatment at UNC Hosp itals, there was no nice place to stay like the Ronald McDonald House, she told the children during a second visit last Wednesday. As a way of doing something spe cial to remember Rebecca, however, many friends now send money to the Ronald McDonald House to make hospital stays easier for other families. "You can do that too," said Russ. vvOfACLU c DR. EDWARD F. ECKERT, JR. -d (Sb s _ s and Maxillofacial Surgery ^ Accnrintps P. A 3 DR. BRIAN C.
