Penny Harvest and the Peaceful Penny Peeps

[$200 is a lot of pennies]

Hey folks, a while back I wrote about a local elementary school that was very generous in choosing New Beginnings (among other non-profits) as a recipient for their school-wide penny drive. Well, we have some great pictures from the assembly where the student leaders presented myself and representatives from the other organizations with checks! Check out the Solid Ground website here to see the pictures! We're in the first photo!

I think I speak for everyone at New Beginnings in saying that it's really wonderful to see the community and young people especially that care about issues

that are so close to home--specifically those of domestic violence. We were honored to be one of the recipients of this generous award. Thanks again to all the students, teachers and parents involved! You can check out the school's Penny Harvest video here on YouTube starring Darth Vader and Oscar The Grouch. I'm not even joking!
