A penny might not mean a lot to one person’s bank account, but for the Fort Dodge Community School District, pennies will lead to new educational resources.

Miles of Pennies, an annual school fundraising campaign, has proven just how far a penny can go.

This year Miles of Pennies will run from April 9 to April 27. Miles of Pennies challenges students and staff at each school to collect loose change in order to meet their fundraising goal.

Each school building keeps 100 percent of their funds raised, and will receive a $100 bonus from the Fort Dodge Community Schools Foundation if they reach their goal.

Building administrators indicate what the funds will support.
