We would like to help raise money for The Kids First Fund by playing Penny Wars with other classrooms. This money will go towards scholarships and any sporting or educational fees that students cannot afford such as travel expenses, sports gear, etc. The penny war competition will take place from May 13th through May 24th. The way penny wars works is the class with the largest point totals wins the competition. There is a diagram below explaining the point system. So bring in your pennies (or larger money to put another homeroom in the negative). 7th & 8th graders will bring pennies to their first period classes. 6th grade will bring pennies to their 3rd period classes.

Attention 8^th grade students!  If you are 14 years old or will be by June and would like to make some money this summer, please stop by the counselor’s office to pick up information about detasseling.
