Bluffsview Elementary Selects United Way
Monday, 14 June 2010 14:11
The students at Bluffsview Elementary School selected United Way of Central Ohio as their non-profit choice to receive the proceeds of their Penny Harvest Project.
The Penny Harvest shows young people they have the ability to make the world a better place by introducing them to the power of philanthropy and service during their formative years. As children help others, they develop their generosity and moral character, and they learn through practice the skills and responsibilities of democratic participation.
Principals and parents find that the Penny Harvest encourages a caring culture and sense of belonging; teachers see it as an opportunity to enhance curriculum through a blend of service-learning, character education, and child philanthropy; community leaders value the millions of dollars and hours that children donate back to better our communities; and kids like the program because it’s fun!
Thank you to the students of Bluffsview Elementary School for LIVING UNITED!
