There are also opportunities to donate money toward Mini-THON, outside of Penny Wars, if you are interested. All donations go directly to Four Diamonds and children fighting cancer at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital.

I declare a Penny War! |
|
|
It's time for our annual Penny Wars race! Gather up all of your change and bring it to school this week! Each class will have a jug to collect money. Money raised during Penny Wars will be donated to Four Diamonds and will count toward East Hanover Elementary's Mini-THON total.
How the Penny War works:
1. Each class has their own container
2. Each penny counts as 1 point for YOUR classroom
3. Each silver coin counts as negative points for OTHER classrooms. For instance, dropping a nickel in another class's container subtracts points from their total.
4. On Friday, February 23 all points/money will be tallied and the classroom with the most points will win a Mini-THON prize pack and a treat!
