Townsend Elementary held the annual Pennies from Heaven fundraiser during the month of February. The event raises money for UHS Delaware Valley Hospital.
This year was another success as the school had 550 pounds of pennies, which were brought in from all classes at Townsend. That will be approximately $1,000 for DVH.
The program, which began in 1998, finished its 27th year. Over that time, Townsend Elementary has raised 26,192 pounds, which comes out to more than $46,100 donated.
