WORKING TOGETHER TO HELP

By Macy, 4th grade student, Roessleville Elementary School

I enjoyed being a part of the Penny Harvest during my fourth grade school year at Roessleville.  What I enjoyed most was being able to help groups in the community, such as  The Ronald McDonald House, the animal shelter and the Juvenile Diabetes Association.
 
What I learned while working with the other fourth grade students in this program is that it feels so good to give back to the community.  We worked together as a group and shared our thoughts.  This taught us all how to respect each others’ opinions.  We discussed all of the different places in the community the money our school raised could be used toward.  We voted for three programs; each was very grateful for our contribution.

The Penny Harvest is an experience that I am happy to have been a part of. It was fun.  I would love to do it again someday.
