Glenwood

We don't normally sent out Sunday newsletters, but we have an upcoming event we wanted to share with you: our annual GLENWOOD PENNY COMPETITION through Friday, December 12th

Each grade level will have a bin in the cafeteria labeled with their grade. Students can bring in as many pennies as they can to put in their own grades bin. Each penny counts for a point!

But wait!!! THERE'S A TWIST! You can also bring in Dollar bills - as well as nickels, dimes, and quarters (any silver money) to put in other grades’ bins. Any silver coins or dollar bills put in a bin counts for negative points. So, if you bring in a nickel or a dollar bill, you want to put that nickel in ANOTHER grades bin!

Example: if you are in first grade and have 10 pennies (10 positive points) , a dime (worth 10 negative points) and a dollar (worth negative 100 points) you would put the 10 pennies in the first grade bin (gaining 10 points), and the dime and a dollar in either Kindergarten, Second, Third, Fourth or Fifth grade (to subtract a total of 110 points)! But beware- other grades will be putting silver coins and dollars in your bin too! The only way to stop those silver coins and dollars from subtracting points is more pennies!

SO, remember, put pennies in your own grade level jar, and put dollar bills, nickels, dimes and quarters in other grades jars! The competition will run from Friday Dec 5th- Friday Dec 12th! Good sportsmanship will be expected by all students, as we see every year!

At the end, a winner among groups will be declared, and all the proceeds are donated to Glenwood

Helping Glenwood for Winter Holiday Support! (confidentially organized by the Glenwood School Counselors)

Remember - teachers and staff have their own bin!

Have fun!
