Dollar Doing Good Project By Gram Schmidt

Gram Schmidt A philanthropic former Perkins student dedicated his school project to raise money for his former elementary school. The project premeditated by his middle school teacher was called Dollar Doing Good Project. It was intended to inspire his students to do something special for others.  By utilizing one of Grams artistic multiple intelligences, he drew pictures for interested buyers. He earned $85.00 to which he then donated to the Perkins PTA. It is expected that the PTA will use the money to help fund additional playground equipment. Gram is an outstanding student and person. Gram epitomizes Edward Everett Hales quote, “I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something.” Gram chose to do the project with diligence. He used his artistic talent to raise money and then gave that money to his former elementary school. He did more than something. He modeled altruism. The Perkins family is grateful and indebted to this fine student. BRAVO!! Follow your dream Gram. You will make a difference in the world. Once a Perkins Penguin always a Perkins Penguin.
