Pennies for Peace
Chugach Optional has been collected pennies for the last two years with a goal of collecting a million pennies. Our students have brought in their penny collections, we have placed containers all over town, and we marched in the Rondy parade. As May 25, 2001 we have 446,019 pennies collected.
At the 250,000, 500,000, 750,000 and 1,000,000 marks students will determine a non-profit peace keeping charity to donate the pennies to. Distribution of the pennies to the non-profit charities will not happen until we reach a million pennies.
The following images show how we work with the pennies and some of the student presentations as they pitched which non-profit peace keeping charity they felt deserved the first 250,000 pennies. The first charity selected by the upper grade students is Save the Children.
