YAY! We did it! We managed to raise $169.00 all in the name of Pennies for Peace. What an enlightening journey we have gone through! Much like Ollie was sharing with his parents when we initially began the project, maybe, one day our students might make a trip to see the schools that we have helped build. Wouldn't that be awesome?
Parents, friends and above all students of SK, thank you for taking this project so seriously and opening your hearts, and your piggy banks! THANK YOU:)
On Friday, our class went to TCF Bank to exchange the pennies that we had collected since April. Oh, what joy the students had seeing the pennies go down the express exchange teller. The numbers went
up and eventually the machine was overloaded and help was called for. We got to see the inside of the machine; what a treat it was for the children. The biggest highlight for me was to see the children all screaming when they got to see the 100 dollar bill, "Hey, it is Ben Franklin," they screamed. Then they hugged each other and said "Yay, a group hug!" Well, Baskins Robbins was next door, and I wanted to give them a special treat. You can only imagine what followed after...enjoy some of these pictures.
Whoops! Nearly forgot, we happened to have a pretty exciting day even before the trip to the bank... we had a feast of Stone Soup ( prepared by our class)and bread baked by Susans' class.The whole school joined us! Please, excuse how randomly placed the pics are, I was just so overwhelmed with joy I had to share these a.s.a.p!!
Way to go everyone! Join us on the "Official Pennies for Peace" fan page and keep us informed! http://www.facebook.com/PenniesforPeace
