Miles Of Pennies!

Kalona Elementary participated with the Optimist in collecting pennies for the Miles Of Pennies program. This program raises money to help children with cancer.  Students had the opportunity to collect coins and bring to school in the month of October.  I encouraged students to ask mom and dad for chores to "earn" the coins they brought to school.  Although our class did raise the most money and were the winners of the pizza party, we discussed through out the month who the real winners were...."the children with cancer because they will use the money to help find a medicine that will make them better!"  Thanks to the Kalona and Washington Twp Optimist for including us in this worthwhile project and giving us the opportunity to help others AND to parents and grandparents for helping your child to get involved!  Below are photos of the pizza party that was served by members of the Optimist group.
