Grand total: 108,053 pennies!



Today we went to TD bank and the people were so nice there! We raised a total of $1,080.53 or 108,053 pennies! Wow!

Team 3 raised $163.88
Team 7 raised $88.75
Team 6 raised $88.08
Team 1 raised $86.75
Team 2 raised $66.59
Team 5 raised $40.06
Team 4 raised $37.42

Before the campaign, when students were asked, "when you see a penny do you pick it up?" most students said no. Now we can see a penny can make a difference!

The best part of the campaign was all of the students working together to collect their spare change and donate it to a great cause. Everyone can donate a penny and everyone did--and more!

With this money, we can pay for a teacher in a village similar to Korphe for more than 3 years! We have given the gift of education and it feels good!
