This week we hold our first Penny War.
Funds raised through this activity will support end of year events and celebrations. All you have to do is send spare change in with your child(ren). They place pennies and dollars in their grade level jar for positive points. All other coins go in other grades jars as negative points. The grade with the most points at the end of the week will win a popsicle and playground party.
Let the competition begin!
