Patriotic Pennies /Teachers please read.

We are just kids,

what can we do

to show America,

we love her too.

We are too young,

we can't fight or give aide,

we can't give blood,

yet it's our future being made.

Acting alone, we are weak,

there is not much we can do,

but together, we are stronger,

than anyone knew.

So together, we will unite,

across this nation, hand in hand,

by collecting pennies,

we can help our troubled land.

A penny can't do much,

when it is all alone,

by putting millions together,

see how it's strength has grown.

The Patriotic Pennies,

is how they will be known,

as school kids band together,

no longer weak and alone.

So if a kid comes to your door,

with a bag, coffee can, or jar,

give your Patriotic Pennies,

for he or she is a rising American Star.

Please pass this on to Teachers across the USA, give our kids something

to do so they will know they are just as needed and as capable of

helping out during this sad time in America's history.
