PS 200 Benson School
Across the country, children make hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants to protect the young and the elderly, support disaster relief and fight disease, and defend the environment and human rights. Common Cents created the Penny Harvest in 1991, and now trains and supports teachers to use our curriculum throughout the entire NYC/Metro NY area. See a full list of participating schools.
