EVERYBODY HARVEST!
"It's hard to find a way to help people when you are alone, but when you are at school, you can Penny Harvest."

Jenna, 7th grade, JHS 167, Manhattan

..................................

"The Philanthropy Roundtable has taught me the true meaning of responsibility and that all of your hard work truly pays off. I really think that any child that participates in the roundtable will come out as a person changed for the better."

Abbisola, student, PS 398
..................................

"Being on the roundtable is like being president for nine weeks! I got to make decisions for myself for the first time in my life."

Danielle, student, PS 398, Brooklyn

..................................

"This is learning! It's about learning to help others.  This is just as important as reading and writing."

Eric Nezowitz, former principal at PS 46, Staten Island

..................................

Chancellor Joel I. Klein of the New York City Department of Education recommends the Penny Harvest to principals "as part of a comprehensive strategy to improve the culture in your school.  Consider the Penny Harvest as the key to service-learning and community involvement in your school."
