Want to Chew Gum in School? That Will Cost You!

Would you pay money for the opportunity to skirt a rule for the day?

At Hawthorn Middle School North, students will mark Charitable Bubble Gum Day on Friday with a charity fundraiser.

Students who donate 50 cents will be permitted to chew gum for the day. The donations will benefit Misericordia Heart of Mercy, which provides a range of services for people with developmental disabilities.
