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
