Student Council Coin War
The Penny War is on! Students should collect coins in their boxes and bring their coins to lunch to place in the coin jugs. All pennies and cash add points, and all silver coins deduct points. To fight the war against blood cancer, students will put pennies and cash in their own grade level jug and all silver in one of the other grade level jugs. All money goes toward the school’s goal of $750.00, but the grade level with the highest point count wins a special treat.
Donations can be made online at PenniesForPatients.org/find-your-school.
