🎄 Penny Wars Update for Angel Tree! 🎄
The competition is heating up as we push toward our goal of $100 per student to help buy presents for 43 children!
Here’s where things stand:
🟢 6th & 7th Grade – These two are neck and neck! Both have a $20 bill in their jars, and neither is backing down. It’s a true holiday showdown!
🟡 5th Grade – They’ve really stepped up their game! While they’re just a little behind the 6th and 7th graders, they’re gaining momentum fast. Keep it up, 5th grade!
🔴 8th Grade – Oh no… it seems the Christmas giving spirit has left the building! Their jar is looking a little too quiet this week. Come on, 8th grade—there’s still time to turn it around!
✨ Reminder:
The Penny Wars fundraiser ends Monday, December 15 at exactly 3:17 PM.
Every coin counts—and every dollar helps make Christmas brighter for 43 children. Let’s finish strong! 🎁💚

Safety
Absolutely no medication on your person, over the counter or otherwise. All medication must be given through the nurse's office.
Backpacks are to be left in your lockers. Our classrooms are very small and backpacks clutter the aisle. It is a safety thing. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
