It’s Time for Penny Harvest

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

From now until Thanksgiving break, gather your pennies and loose change and send them to school with your student for Penny Harvest!

Penny Harvest is an annual event at AS#1 and part of a much larger collection effort sponsored by the folks at Common Cents that shows kids they have the ability to make the world a better place by introducing them to the power of philanthropy and service.

Kids collect pennies and small change between now and Thanksgiving break and then bring it all to AS#1 in their special Penny Harvest bags. Representatives from each core are chosen and together those students decide where they should donate the collected money. During the 2007-2008 collection, Penny Harvest students across the country collectively raised an astonishing $799,033.35!

Now is the time to start digging beneath those couch cushions and gathering loose change! If you have questions, please contact Carmen at dcdidomenico@seattleschools.org
