PENNY PROJECT BENEFITS HUMANE SOCIETY As part of the school’s math program, Showell Elementary students collected 65,807 pennies to donate to a favorite community project. Students learned counting to 100, skip counting, multiples of 10 and estimation. They also used their math skills to tally votes to determine which community project would receive the pennies at the end of the study unit. A majority of students chose the Worcester County Humane Society. Estimation winners from various grade levels and administrators are pictured donating $658.07 to Kenille Davies of the Worcester County Humane Society.
