Penny Wars!
Prairie Vista Penny War For PHM!
Collect your Pennies starting March 4th - March 29th
Pennies for PHM is a fundraiser to support the PHM Educational Foundation. The PHMEF funds numerous grants that have allowed Prairie Vista to aquire educational tools such as Ipads, Books for Mrs. Hlade’s Book Club, Adventures in Computer Science, 4th Grade Rocks & Minerals, Bluetooth Music Room, as well as the Mindful Kindergarten Program.
Prairie Vista gets 25% back of the money we raise and the students would like to raise money to purchase playground equipment!
Donate as many pennies as you can to your classroom container starting… NOW!
The SIXTH ANNUAL PV PENNY WAR for PHM!!!
WHEN: April 9th - April 12th, 2019
TEAMS: Each classroom has its own collection container
GOAL: To still have the most VALUE in your classroom container after the week-long PENNY WAR!!
RULES:
1. From now until March 29th, bring in as many pennies as you can to put into your classroom penny container. Don't bring in any silver coins or paper money – only pennies!!
2. Beginning on April 9th, bring in as many silver coins and paper money as you wish. But here's the catch – it's not going to go into your container; it's going to go into another classroom container! This will be done during a designated time each day so as not to be disruptive to our learning.
3. Each penny has a value of +1, but the silver coins and paper money will cancel out the value of that coin/bill.
For example, if Mrs. Hlade's class has +100 in their container at the start of the week, but a child from Mrs. Wagley's class puts in a nickel, a dime, and a quarter, then the VALUE of Mrs. Hlade's container would be down to only +60.
Nickel = -5
Dime = -10
Quarter = -25
Paper money = -face value
Reward: If we raise over $3000 the whole school will earn a dance party!!
MOST IMPORTANTLY, HAVE FUN!
