2nd Grader Camelback Desert School
Benchmark School’s
Coin Fundraiser
The week of December 2nd the 3rd grade at Benchmark Elementary decided
to hold a coin drive for the Philippines. The winner of the contest received
one extra recess! One penny counted as a point. All silver and bills were negative
points. The 3rd grade set out water jugs and the whole school tried to out donate each other. Morgan
Vasiliauskas (pictured at left) said, “Raising money will help the Philippines recover from the typhoon.
We don’t like it when people are hurt or dying.” Braden Totman said, ”All of the buildings were crushed.
3rd Graders Counting
We are counting the money to help them build back what they lost.” The 1st grade at Benchmark was
awarded the free recess and all sorts of lessons were learned-sportsmanship, counting, and goodwill. Anthony Mustacchio thought it
was important because the entire country was destroyed. “We are sending the money to the Philippines so they can rebuild their
country.” Over $1000 was raised!
