Have you ever had to spend two hours looking for pennies?
Well, I have, and let me tell you, it was worth it.
It was for an event at my school called the Penny Harvest. No, it’s

fall. It’s collecting pennies to donate to services and organizations
such as the Red Cross. Believe it or not, our school, Mary Lin Elementary, was the first
school in Georgia to collect pennies for the Penny Harvest.
