The students at Noonan Elementary Academy in Mokena participated in a Penny War hosted by their Student Council for their Catholic Schools Week service project. All money collected will go to Aid for Women, a pregnancy care center in Flossmoor that empowers women to choose life. Principal Dunn was tasked with tediously counting all the pennies collected at the end of Catholic Schools Week. $1,701.65 was donated to the Aid for Women center.
