Pennies For Peace
Pennies for Peace - FINAL WEEK FOR COLLECTION
The 2nd grade Brownies would like your help. This year the girls are
collecting pennies to donate to "Pennies for Peace," a nonprofit which
raises money to help build schools in the poorest regions of Pakistan
and Afghanistan. Pennies for Peace was born out of the bestselling
novel Three Cups of Tea and is a way for school age children to make a
difference by saving up and donating their pennies. This is our final
week collecting pennies, so clear out those piggy banks and send in
your pennies on Wednesday! For questions or if you'd like to donate
pennies after this week, contact Kelly Walsh (Ghashghai).
