Newark Students Learn the Meaning of ‘Philanthropy’ :: PNNOnline ::

Newark Students Learn the Meaning of ‘Philanthropy’ :: PNNOnline ::: "riumphant and proud, three student representatives, Janine Cadet, Damon McCasker, and James McMillon from St. Philip’s Academy in Newark traveled to Commerce Bank to count up almost $7000 in loose change they had collected for the first annual Dollars & Sense Drive to raise money for the school.


Money was collected from teachers, faculty, family, friends and among themselves in coin boxes, made of recycled materials, which were decorated by the students and included a definition of “philanthropy.” Families were asked to talk with their children about the importance of giving back to the community."
