War has been declared to begin on January 12 and end on January 23! 

Each grade level is competing against each other to earn points. The winning grade level will not be the one that has the most money, but the most POINTS! Ultimately, grade levels want to collect pennies and bills to have the most points.  The Penny Wars buckets will be set up in the lunchroom daily. Therefore, make sure to bring your coins to lunch.  The  winning grade level will have an ice cream celebration on January 30th!

All money raised through penny wars will go directly towards funding the Head Over Boots dance being held on February 13th.
