Habitat World

This past school year, 360 first-grade students at Laurel Hill Primary turned their daily chores into $1,900 for East Cooper Habitat. The two-week school project, designed to teach money and math skills, raised enough money to buy cabinets for a new Habitat house. In return, students got to tour Habitat’s first energy-efficient house in Mount Pleasant. “I had fun doing chores for money,” says 7-year-old Reagan. “I got to cook with my mom and dad!”
