Pennies make cents for students

Got any old and now-obsolete pennies lying around? Well, how about giving that chunk of coppery change to some science students?

Got any old and now-obsolete pennies lying around? Well, how about giving that chunk of coppery change to some science students?

The grade 10 science class from Nakusp Secondary school is going on a science trip in April and as a fundraiser for the trip they are doing a penny drive to help pay for some of the expenses.

“The Science 10 Class at Nakusp Secondary School is planning a trip to Vancouver and needs donations,” Taylor Aeichele told the Arrow Lakes News. “We’re planning a Penny Drive, so bring your pennies into the office at the school counted or uncounted.”

The students will be using the coinage collected to pay for their trip to Vancouver’s science sights. Science World, the Planetarium, the Vancouver Aquarium, UBC’s Museum of Anthropology and more are on the itinerary. A bin is available for your rolled or unrolled donations at the school office, and the students roll out April 26 so will stop taking donations the week before they leave (they’re going to need some time to count all that coin). Aiechelle and her fellow students are grateful for any change you can spare, so dig deep.
