How To Participate
Each classroom teacher (Kindergarten to 5th grade) and special teachers (PE, Music, STEAM, and Library) will have their own coin container for collecting money located in the main hallway outside the gym.
- Add Points to your teachers containers by adding pennies and dollar bills.
- Subtract Points from other teachers by adding silver coins to their container.
THE TOP 3 TEACHERS WITH THE MOST POINTS WILL HAVE TO WEAR SILLY HATS
ON MONDAY JANUARY 31ST EVERY TIME THEY LEAVE THEIR CLASSROOM
(FOR EXAMPLE: TO RECESS, LUNCH, THE OFFICE, ETC.)
Dollar War Update:
CONGRATS TO THE STUDENTS BECAUSE WE DID IT!
We reached our $1000 goal in only 2 days so now Ms. Rosenquist will be getting ready to take a test created by the students. Each class with their teacher, comes up with 5 questions to add to the test. Some classes already have their questions ready to go!
We will continue Dollar Wars until next Friday, January 28th to find out which 3 Teachers end up with the highest total of points and have to wear a silly hat. Right now Mrs. GaRey, Mrs. Peterson, and Mrs. Sheehan are currently in the lead but it changes every day. It has been awesome to see the students so excited and even the teachers joining in on the fun!
Dollar Wars is currently at $2,131.60 and we have another $5,000 in the Playground Improvement Fund to go towards the spinner! Our overall goal for Phase 1 (the spinner) is $10,000 which will be explained more in the upcoming weeks. Thank you to everyone who has participated!
If you have any questions, you can email Shannon Poynter at shannonwpoynter@gmail.com.
