Pauline Johnson Public School recently raised $150 from a fundraiser called Pennies for Polio. Over a one-week period, students and staff donated pennies toward polio vaccinations. The school donated the money to the Rotary Club, which works around the world to vaccinate people against polio. Due to these efforts, the disease has been eradicated in countries such as Liberia, Sudan and Chad.
