Elementary Announcements

flyer for penny wars

Elementary Penny Wars - Ends on Friday

April 22-May 2

Rules:
  • Each grade has a bucket to drop pennies and dollars into. Each penny is worth a point, and the grade with the most points wins.

  • Grades can sabotage each other by putting silver coins in the buckets for other grade levels. Each silver coin subtracts the number of points equal to its worth (quarter = -25 points).

The winning class gets a pizza party, and their teachers get $500 gift cards for the Scholastic store.
