Once again the LEAP students did their spring blitz penny collection in an effort to raise money for Pennies For Peace, an organization that provides educational supplies to remote schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan. This year the class collected $144 entirely in pennies! That's more than double what they raised last year. The champion fundraiser, Celine Ndongo, brought in over thirty-four dollars most of which she collected on her own street, noting: "Once people knew we were only asking for pennies, they were happy to contribute." So a big thank you goes out not only to our students but also to our great neighbours!
