Seattle Penny Harvesters lead by example!
Although most of Penny Harvest schools in Seattle donated their funds to local non-profit organizations, the students at Hawthorne Elementary chose a different course of action: helping a homeless man, DeBraer Brae get housing. Brae now has a wheelchair and temporary housing thanks to donations of spare change from students at Seattle's Hawthorne Elementary.
Students scrounge for idle pennies

18th Annual Penny Harvest Kicks-off!
October 27, 2008 - Starting today, over 1,000 schools nationwide - and nearly 500,000 students - will be scouring their homes and neighborhoods for idle pennies. From now until Thanksgiving, students will go door-to-door with their parents asking neighbors to help them better their communities by donating spare change.
During the next four weeks, millions of pennies will be collected by Penny Harvesters, and thousands of Penny Harvesters will connect with their communities.

About Us
Who We Are

She was so impressed with their leadership that she made them the school’s first student counsel.
