Penny Wars

It’s time to bring out those pennies! Our Annual Penny Wars Fundraiser will be held February 27-March 3. This fundraiser will be supporting Miracles for Kids. To encourage student and staff participation, this fundraiser is also a competition between 6th period classes for an Ice Cream Float party! Each 6th period class will have a small collection container shaped like a house. Students are encouraged to bring in as many pennies as they can, because pennies = positive points! However, what’s a war without sabotage? To sabotage other 6th period classrooms, students throughout the day can add other coins and bills, which would create negative points for that classroom. For example: if students  in Mrs. Adelman’s 3rd period class want to sabotage her 6th period class, they would then put in coins/bills, other than a penny (nickels, dimes, quarters, $1, $5, $10, $100), into her container to make her 6th period class lose points. 

This is how students earn points for their 5th period class:

• 1 penny = +1 point

This is the point system used to sabotage other classes:

• 1 nickel= -5 points

• 1 dime = -10 points

• 1 quarter= -25 points

• 1 dollar= -100 points

• 5 dollars= -500 points

• 10 dollars= -1,000 points

• 100 dollars = -10,000 points
