Info From HS Students:
- The bottles are 2-liter bottles that have a “Dimes for Diamonds” label on it.
- Some classrooms previously have actually cut the top of the bottle open so students could bring in larger change.
- Once the time slot has ended, we will come back and collect the cans. Class that raises the most money will win a PIZZA PARTY and DRESS DOWN DAY!
