Pennies for Peace

Mrs. Torres — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:48:42 +0000

The Children the fourth grade class are being real leaders for our school and word and great examples of Peacebuilders here on campus. Thanks to all the children’s hard work, the pennies have just been showering in from all grades and we thank you for all your support and help. The penny race will continue with prizes involved for the top contributing classes. Keeping in mind, that the true reward lies in knowing that we are helping so many children. So far, with your help, we have raised over 50,000 pennies, which could provide a classroom, full of children waiting to be tough, a teacher for a whole school year. If everyone brings in just one more dollars worth of pennies we can double this amount.

Asalaam Aleikum! Peace be with you! Keep up the great work!

Saber-Tooth Lenten promise

Fasting or giving up something to have more room for Jesus. The things of this world are not what is important and when they all turn to dust the love in our hearts is all that will remain.
Giving to others in ways of alms giving and giving of our time and talents. The fourth grade is running a Pennies for Peace campaign to raise money for children in Pakistan and Afghanistan as well as visiting with the residence of Country Inn.
Prayer and reflection, that we may grow and have the strength to follow through with one and two. The fourth graders just learned how the greatest prayer is the Eucharist.

Pennies for Peace!

Mrs. Torres — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:06:45 +0000

We are delighted to share with you that our students will participate in a Pennies for Peace campaign for our Christian service project. 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.

Pennies for Peace is a program of Central Asia Institute (CAI), founded by Greg Mortenson – author of the #1 new York times best seller, Three Cups of Tea. CAI is a registered nonprofit organization that promotes and provides community-based education and literacy programs, especially for girls, in remote mountain regions of Central Asia. Founded in 1996, CAI has built, to date, nearly 100 schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which serve more than 28,000 students – over 14,000 of whom are girls.

How can a penny bring peace? It doesn’t buy much in our community. However, in the villages of Pakistan and Afghanistan, a penny can buy a pencil, start an education, and transform a life. In a region where terrorist organizations recruit uneducated, illiterate children, that pencil can empower a child to read, write, and learn. The Pennies for Peace program goal is to encourage our students, who are ultimately our future leaders, to learn the value of philanthropy by collecting pennies for global peace.

Poetry

Mrs. Torres — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 19:19:02 +0000

Over the last few weeks all the fourth grade students have been reading and writing and learning about all kinds of different poems. To wrap up this unit and to show off all the students hard work, each student is publishing a poetry book of their own. The final book will be due Friday Jan. 29th 2010. Most of the students have a great start and I cannot wait to see the final product!
