Student Council Coin Drive Results
Totals are in!! This year we raised an incredible amount of money for our Student Council Coin Drive! We raised a total of $1324.31 this year!! This will allow us to give a generous donations to the St. Jude’s Children Hospital . Every classroom and grade level did a great job bringing in their coins.
For the classroom rewards… In third place earning extra recess was Mrs. Wickler’s classroom with a total of $100.55. In second place earning a popsicle party and extra recess with a total of $117.56 was first grade classroom Mrs. Scully. And the first place classroom, earning a pizza party and extra recess time with a total $155.32 is third grade Mrs. Waldbusser.
Now, who will duct tape Mr. Danielski to the gym wall at the end of the year? This award goes to the top three grade levels. This year getting to tape Mr. D to the wall will be second grade, first grade and the top grade level was third grade! Thank you again to everyone that contributed to our coin drive and for helping raise money for the children at St. Jude’s Children Hospital!
