Penny Drive for St. Jude’s Children' s Research Hospital Until March 7
The jars are starting to fill! Our classrooms are enjoying a little friendly competition with a penny drive to benefit St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. This drive has a bit of a twist - every PENNY counts TOWARDS the classroom’s goal, but silver coins - nickels, dimes, quarters, etc. count AGAINST the goal. ( example: 1 penny = 1 point, 1 nickel = -5 points) All classroom jars are in the school entrance. Put pennies in your jars and put other coins in the other classrooms’ jars to earn points for your room and take points away from the other classrooms! This is a fun competition to raise money for St. Judes, which offers life-saving medical care to children without cost for families in need. Collection jars will be in the school entrance until Wednesday, March 4 and the results shared on Friday, March 6. We will have a sweet treat reward for the winning classroom! For more information on St. Jude’s, visit https://www.stjude.org/ .
