We are delighted to share with you that our students will participate in a Pennies for Peace campaign from November 2-24. Pennies for Peace is a service-learning program designed to broaden our students' cultural horizons while teaching them about their capacities as philanthropists-one penny at a time.

A penny in the United States has little worth, but in Pakistan & Afghanistan a penny buys a pencil & opens the door to literacy:

1 penny=one pencil

2 pennies=one eraser

15 pennies=one notebook

$2 or $3=one teacher's salary for one day

$20=one student's school supplies for one year

$600=one teacher's annual salary

$5,000=support for existing school for one year

$50,000=one school building and support for up to five years
