Please plan to attend as many events as possible this week and donate in any way you are able. One way might be through Coin wars! In Coin Wars, pennies are (+) points and anything other than pennies is (-) points! That means the more dollar bills, nickels, dimes and quarters you can donate to OTHER academies the more likely YOUR academy will win, All in the name of just donating money for a great cause! Coin Wars will run from Jan 23-27. Coins can be dropped off in the Main Office. The winner will be announced at the pep rally and earn 365 days of bragging rights! May the biggest collector dominate!
