Lonny Lemon, a Superintendent of Schools in the NW Chicago Suburbs, has been collecting discarded pencils off of the floors each day and delivering them to an elementary school in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for the past five years.
Over the year, Lemon and custodians at the schools have collected over 15,000 pencils that are delivered to Puerto Vallarta students over the Christmas and Spring break periods.
The students aren't in session, so Lemon never met them, but always put a note with the pencils, describing who he is, and throw them into the covered courtyard.
For the first . . .
