The Prairie Grove community was very generous and supportive of the project. The students contributed $1990.21 to the Pennies for Peace organization which builds schools for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The teachers read the Young Readers version of the book Three Cups of Tea and Listen to the Wind by Greg Mortenson, the founder of the Pennies for Peace project.
A big thanks goes to our PTO who very generously donated the money to purchase the books so that each classroom was actively involved in the project through read-alouds and discussions and other curriculum related activities.
