We hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! Penny Wars will be going on all this week. We are so grateful for this wonderful community and all of the support you give us.
The lost and found is in the hall for students to look through. Anything not claimed by December 12th will be donated.
Tolman Holiday Giving
Holiday Giving Campaign
We will be running a holiday giving campaign through the rest of the holiday season. We have some families in our community who are struggling financially this holiday season. We will be collecting monetary donations that will be used to purchase Christmas meals.
At school, students can participate through our annual penny wars activity here at school (donating coins). See the details about the Penny Wars below! Online, parents can participate through the "Tolman Elementary Holiday Giving" fund available through myDSD.
Penny Wars
This week Tolman Student Council is hosting a Penny Wars fundraiser to support the Tolman Holiday Giving Campaign!
Classes compete by adding pennies (or bills) to their team jar (each penny = 1 point). To make it more exciting, silver coins subtract points when placed in another class’s jar — so teams strategize to protect their lead! This is a simple, hands-on way for students to learn teamwork, counting, and good sportsmanship while raising money for a great cause. Send your baggies of change to school with your student(s) and they can bring them to lunch for some lunch time fun! Thank you for helping make our Penny Wars and Holiday Giving Campaign a success!
