Penny Wars!
The fundraiser works like this:
- All homerooms will have a large jar in the main office.
- Each morning (April 24-28) students will bring down the donations they have collected.
- Pennies are worth 1 point, nickels are worth 5 points, dollars are worth 100 points, etc...
- All pennies and dollars go towards the total amount for that classroom.
- Any silver (nickels, dimes, quarters) are put in the jars of other rooms and deducts their total amount. This is the "war" aspect that fosters positive competition between classrooms.
- At the end of the fundraiser, the winning classroom will receive a prize (to be determined).
- All funds collected will go to families in our school that have been affected by the fire.
