ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR…WE CHALLENGE YOU TO A PENNY WAR!

The St. George Parent Group is sponsoring a Penny War, to raise funds that will benefit all

St. George School students.  This event will begin on Monday, October 22nd and

will end on Friday, October 26th at 9:00AM.

Each grade level will have its own collection jar.  Students, staff and parents are invited to deposit pennies in the jar of their choice. The grade level having the most pennies in its jar at the end of the week will win a prize!  Here’s the sneaky catch….any silver coins or paper money that is deposited in a jar results in asubtraction from that jar.

One penny = 1 point added to the jar

One nickel = 5 points subtracted from the jar

One quarter = 25 points subtracted from the jar

One dollar = 100 points subtracted from the jar

Get it?

This results in a higher overall amount of money raised, which will benefit all students, while encouraging some fun competitive strategizing among students and staff.

Collection jars will be available before 8:00AM each day and will be located in the hall by the main office.  Parent volunteers will supervise them.  Please be clear with your students about how much money you will allow them to contribute to this fundraiser.
