So we've got the idea for Pennies for Polio on google when we saw the penny and we decided to make a SMART ideas thing about Polio. We came up with good ideas. Because it was the last day of the pennies. Pennies aren't that important. And we decided to collect pennies for Polio. So Polio is a disease. It's only in four countries: Chad, Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. In all the other countries in the world, it's been cured! It takes sixty cents to make one kid better!
Thank you for listening.

DeleteWow that is such a good a idea I would have never thought of that idea!!!!!!!!!
DeleteI have a good idea for how to donate so this is how. So we all bring in 10 pennies or more and you put the 10 pennies in a jar and when we have 3 dollars of pennies [each medicine is 65 cents] And we will donate all the money to cure polio.

Great idea Liam! Let's start by collecting all the pennies lying around our house and bringing them to school! Maybe other kids could do the same?
