Penny war competition to aid victims of tsunami
Penny Wars have been declared. Sara English’s 2nd hour Algebra class, along with Jori Bowen and Lynn Lubeck, has challenged the school and faculty to raise money for the tsunami victims.
Students and teachers can contribute their money during lunch periods from Wednesday, January 19 through Wednesday, January 26. The war is declared between the following groups: Freshman class vs. the sophomore class and the gold team faculty members vs. the cranberry team faculty members.
The rules are as follows: In the cafeteria there will be one water jug for each group. The jugs were donated by Wisconsin Springs. You want to add pennies to your group. If you see the opposing group has a lot of pennies, you can add silver change and bills to subtract from the value of the pennies.
The goal is to have the most pennies in your jug (remember, though, if you put in 25 pennies and someone else put in a quarter, your balance is back to zero). State Bank in Lindenhurst has agreed to count the money for no charge. All profits will be going to a reputable charity.
