In addition to teaching them about subjects normally covered in school, Silver and Adamczyk are teaching them the importance of helping others. The children in the program have been collecting spare change and Frito Lay potato chip bags to participate in Wish Giving, the core program of One Simple Wish. The potato chip bags are “upcycled” and turned “affordable green products” by TerraCycle in Trenton. Terracycle gives the school 2 cents for each bag. That might not seem like a lot until you see the piles of potato chip bags and realize it can add up to a nice sum of money, which in turn will help someone else. The students  put the chip bags into groups of 25, as a way of working on their counting and math skills, not as a requirement for TerraCycle.
