So, if you haven't already heard, we are in the middle of Penny Wars. This will run from August 27 - September 18. We will announce the winning class at the Green Ribbon Week assembly on September 24. Here are the rules:
There are eight HUGE jars placed near the office. Each jar will represent a grade level from Kindergarten to Multi-Age. Kids in each grade level are encouraged to bring pennies from home to put in their grade’s jar. Each penny will be an added point for that team. The team with the most pennies wins. BUT, there is one catch. Kids can also bring silver coins to put in other grade level jars. The silver coins will count AGAINST that team. For example, a nickel is minus 5 points, a dime is minus 10 points, a quarter is minus 25 points. Another catch, to offset the negative points, paper bills will be counted as positive points. So $1.00 is plus 100 points, $5.00 is plus 500 points, $10.00 is plus 1,000 points.
Each week we will total the jars and post those totals on Monday. The winning grade level will have the opportunity to dunk Mr. Larsen in a dunk tank and maybe some teachers?!?! Please encourage your child to bring spare change from home to help their team win Penny Wars! Thanks so much!!!!
