Third Grader Makes a Difference

Pikes Peak Prep third grader, Phoebe Hartman, had an idea that inspired students and teachers in her school to take action.  She was so moved by the hardship Japan was experiencing, she had to discover any way to help.  Her way to help was organizing a coin drive to involve fellow students in her mission.

Pikes Peak Prep elementary students grasped her idea and implemented it. To entice students to participate, a friendly competition was held. The two classes with the most money donated would receive the prize of a pajama party. 

With 1st grade raising $75, and 6th grade raising $115, they were the winners of the pajama party. Students in every grade came together to support the Red Cross and raised a grand total of $335.
