Pennies for a Purpose

Our school practices the 4Bs-Be Responsible, Be Prepared, Be Respectful, and Be a Learner. Through this positive behavior plan we are learning various character traits. Our most recent is kindness. Our class is continuing this trait by participating in an activity called "Pennies with a Purpose". The purpose of this activity is to show the students that "one small act (symbolized by the penny) can grow into many good acts."

Today after our test the students were asked to submit names of charities or organizations that they would like to raise money for in the coming weeks.

Below are the most popular choices-

Ronald McDonald House
Relay for Life
St. Jude Children's Hospital
Christian Service Center
Pennies for Posho
An Indian orphanage sponsored by a local church

Tomorrow students who voted for these choices will tell a little about the organization to their classes. All of the fourth graders will then vote to see which organization we will sponsor with Pennies for a Purpose.

My heart was so happy today as I read all of the suggestions from the students. I am proud of your generosity fourth graders!
