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
not putting pennies in the ground and digging them up in the
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.

Lorie Cramer, a member of the New York Turtle and Tortoise Society, was sharing some of her rehabilitated turtles in an interactive presentation at The Computer School in Manhattan.
