In their final year at PS 94 in Norwood, the 5th grade members of the school’s student council worked hard to raise money for cancer patients as part of the nationwide Pennies for Patients program.
Through a series of bake sales and fun-filled events, the students raised a total of $2,500. At the end of the year, they had a pizza party and gave a huge check to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Student participants (pictured) included: Julines Reynoso, Briana Francis, Kevin Ortiz, Jennifer De La Cruz, Rhandle Pedro, Sayeda Yasmin and Ariel Vergara. They were helped by school counselor Angela Martinez (also pictured).

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
