Sanford Jr High Pays it Forward!
Donation protected
Each year, Sanford Jr. High School in Sanford, ME holds a Pay it Forward Penny War to raise money for a local family in need. It is always a complete surprise to the family! Once all the money has been collected it is gifted to the family in front of the entire student body, which is always one of our favorite days of the school year! The students very much look forward to this every year!
If you would like to see last year's Pay it Forward Assembly where we used the penny drive money to pay for a family's medical bills and for a few other (amazing) surprises - check it out here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAEVA-dxKEM&t=1432s
This year, we need to raise more than we typically would raise through the penny drive to be able to grant the wish for the family we want to help. We can't say much about it right now since the family is local and we want to keep it a surprise! We can update everyone who donated after the gift is given to the family!! Also keep an eye on the news around the first week of May! :)
Thank you so much for your support! Know that your donation will be used to make a school, a child, and her family very happy!
