Susky Students Raise Pennies For Peace
The seventh grade classes of the Susquehanna Community School District recently read the book “Three Cups of Tea” by Greg Mortenson. Mr. Mortenson is a very influential man who began building schools in Pakistan after being helped by the Pakistani people when he got lost on his way down from climbing K2. The class decided to collect pennies for his Pennies for Peace program to help his efforts in educating the children, especially the girls. The idea is to help make a difference in promoting world peace through education. The students are taught by Mrs. Weiss and Mrs. Carpenter and continued their research of Asia in Mr. Soden’s social studies classes. They sent a check for $100.00 to Pennies for Peace and were recently recognized for their contribution.
