First through fifth graders at Oakesdale grade school are trying to collect $50 in coins for the Oakesdale Library penny drive. Oakesdale librarian Michele Wright has vowed to provide a pizza party for the students if they reach their goal.

Grade school teacher Connie Crow said, “having Michele come and do an outreach program really helps get the kids involved in this great cause and we teachers can use the coins prior to donation as a teaching tool to help students learn to count money!” Coins can be donated at the school, Crossett’s Grocery or the Library.
