LP Quinn Elementary students raise nearly $13K for High Peaks Hospice

TUPPER LAKE | The students of LP Quinn Elementary School have once again proven the power of community, creativity, and compassion. During May, the entire school united in their annual fundraising campaign and raised an incredible $12,600+ for High Peaks Hospice. Each grade level chose a unique fundraising strategy, highlighting the ingenuity and heart of LP Quinn students: Pre-K: Picnic Basket Raffle Kindergarten: Water Safari Ticket Raffle First Grade: Ice Pop Sales Second Grade: Schoolwide Dress-up Days Third Grade: Bake Sale Fourth Grade: Sunny Day & Rainy Day Basket Raffles Fifth Grade: Popcorn Sales In-person and online donations poured in from families and community, showing strong support for the cause. On June 2, the students proudly handed over the collected funds to Nicholas George, executive director of High Peaks Hospice, during a special visit by hospice staff. Each class met with representatives from High Peaks Hospice to explain their fundraising efforts and share their understanding of hospice care. "The level of awareness these students showed about hospice services truly moved our team," said Nicholas George. "They spoke knowledgeably about how hospice supports patients and families, and it was clear this wasn't just about raising money—it was about learning compassion and community responsibility." To celebrate their incredible efforts, students received free ice cream scoop certificates from Stewart's Shops. In a friendly schoolwide competition, the Fourth Grade took home the title of Top Fundraising Grade, and Cathleen Collins' Kindergarten Class was named the Top Fundraising Class overall. Both were rewarded with special pizza parties for their hard work and spirit. The funds will go directly toward providing peace, comfort, and dignity to individuals receiving hospice care, as well as ongoing support for their caregivers throughout the region. LP Quinn Elementary's annual fundraiser not only teaches students the importance of giving back, but also strengthens the ties between generations in the Tupper Lake community. High Peaks Hospice was deeply touched and honored to be the beneficiary of their incredible efforts.
