REMINDER: “Pennies for Veterans” Fundraiser Starts Tomorrow! Dear Students, Families, and Community Citizens, Starting Monday, October 21st, we will be starting our “Pennies for Veterans” Fundraiser in collaboration with the Patriotic Kenny Foundation. Our goal is to raise $1000 to donate a mobility scooter to a Veteran in need in the Nashwauk-Keewatin area. The scooter will be awarded at our Veterans Day Program on November 11th, 2024 at the Keewatin Elementary School at 1pm. The “Pennies for Veterans” coin drive will work much like the penny wars we have had in the past where we have donated to the Booster Club or local charities for Random Acts of Kindness month in February. This is a friendly competition amongst the classes and the kids love it. The classroom collecting the most donations will receive a Pizza Party! Below you will find a list of what denomination of coin to send in with your child for donation, if you so choose, and on what day. This is a completely voluntary donation opportunity.
