March of Dimes madness!

LONG BRANCH - Throughout the months of February, March and April, students at Long Branch Middle School will be raising funds to benefit the March of Dimes. The goal is to raise $3,000 in the next three months.

LBMS has already raised over $1,000 toward that goal through fundraisers like the sale of March of Dimes "shoes" that are displayed on each floor, biweekly after-school pizza and candy sales, staff spirit days, as well as two student dances.

In addition to the fundraisers, middle school will host an evening of basketball action when the Harlem Magic Masters came to town,
