Penny Wars!!
Start saving your change...the Penny Wars are returning to Teach on April 21, 22 and 23. Here's how the much-anticipated annual Student Council fundraiser works: Collection jars are set out for each class. The pennies that are added count for one point. Any "silver" that is added takes away points - 5 for a nickel, 10 for a dime, 25 for a quarter. So the strategy is to add pennies to your class's jar and silver to the other classes! The class with the highest points gets an ice cream party!
Earth Day is April 22!

All children who participate in the parade will receive a gift.
