First grade is collecting ... Pennies for Peace ... Last year 1st grade decided to participate in the Pennies for Peace program and raised a little over $600!!! We are doing it again this year!
We read Listen to Wind and the kids today loved hearing the story and learning all about Greg Mortenson's mission to promote peace one school at a time...one penny at a time.
One boy very proudly opened his backpack and pulled out a penny that he had found! The children have been bringing sandwich bags with pennies and proudly dumping them into our class collection (it is HUGE so I think I will get another one so that we can see more progress, it is not our goal to fill this one but the size is just so daunting!).
