Students our Annual United Way Campaign has begun. Please remember to bring your donation every EVEN DAY to your 2nd Period HOMEROOM.
Additionally Penny Wars will be taking place between Classes and Academies during both lunches!
Rules of the Penny War
The GOAL of the Penny War is to collect as many PENNIES as possible in your jar and put as many NON-PENNIES in everyone else’s jar.
Each team has its own container. Money is worth “points” based on its monetary value.
Pennies = 1 point 1Dollar = 100 points
Nickels = 5 points 5 Dollars = 500 points
Dimes = 10 points 10 Dollars = 1,000 points
Quarters = 25 points 20 Dollars = 2,000 points
Pennies give your team positive points while nickels, dimes, quarters, and any dollar bills take points AWAY from the team’s total. Therefore, you want to put PENNIES in YOUR TEAM’S jar (positive points) & nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollar bills (negative points) in the jars of OTHER TEAMS.
Whichever Class/Academy has THE MOST POINTS at the end of the Penny Drive, wins!!
TOMORROW IS CLASS WARS!!!! Bring your donation to lunch!
The Hispanic Heritage Luncheon will take place Monday, October 27th. Purchase your tickets today!!!
