Students and staff of the Anne Carlsen Centers celebrated the 100th day of class by gaining awareness for individuals in need on the other side of the planet, and giving back.

Money in the form of change was collected for the Pennies for Peace project, an international program that helps raise money for schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

A total of $167 was raised by the eight classes that are on the Center’s Jamestown campus. .

The 100th day of class celebration included a number of fun activities for students and staff. Stations were set up around the gymnasium perimeter that showed maps of the region, and computers displayed videos of traditional music of the area. Students learned what games are played by children in the Middle East, and got to taste humus and flat bread – two traditional foods of that region.
