Ingeniously simple and remarkably versatile, the Common Cents Penny Harvest is a year-long program designed to thrive within the school day and to build upon itself year after year. The Penny Harvest requires three things that every community has: idle pennies, un-met community needs, and kids that care.

While each Penny Harvest school is unique the outcomes and spirit of the program remain the same. A trained, community-minded Penny Harvest Coach carefully guides a group of dedicated students, and using the tools found in their Penny Harvest Kit lead the school through the full year experience.

We are looking for a PS261 Community Member to lead our Penny Harvest. Please contact Parent Coordinator Jerry Piper at (718) 330-9275, or email him at gpiper2@schools.nyc.gov.
