Edward Town Middle School in Sanborn is gearing up for a concert from teen idol Justin Bieber. The middle school raised the most money competing against 56 other schools to collect pennies for Kiss 98.5’s annual School Spirit Contest.
An exuberant eighth-grader from Edward Town said, “It’s the best thing that ever happened to us!”
After speaking with several students, there are three unanimous things: The students are very excited for the Justin Bieber concert; the favorite Justin Bieber song is “Baby;” and the students are glad all the money raised is going to charity.
Edward Town student Kaitlin Venditti, who donated four bags of pennies, said the money going to charity was the whole reason why she donated.
“It’s cool that Justin Bieber is such a nice person to be helping out charities,” said Margaret Brayley.
Margaret and her brother Philip donated all their pennies and continued to ask their parents every day for more pennies until the contest ended.
The contest, which for the first time expanded to allow middle school students to join, raised $152,000 for Women and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo.
The concert will take place next Thursday at Edward Town Middle.
