Penny drive funds aid Make A Wish at Blackhawk
Blackhawk Intermediate Center students raised 339 pennies for Make A Wish Foundation in a school wide penny drive that also served as a real world math and science lesson. Fourth grade Eva Whitham students led the collection and earned an afternoon with Principal Connie Hoffman who used the pennies to teach estimation averaging and a weight activity on a triple beam scale. Superintendent Elizabeth Reynolds notes principals should be in the classroom regularly to stay connected with teaching.
