Penny War April 22 - May 16

GSCES Penny War Starts April 22

Grab your spare change and help support this year’s 5th grade class during our first-ever penny war fundraiser, taking place April 22-May 16! All proceeds will benefit the 5th grade class' end of year activities and promotion.

For the Penny War, pennies are “positive.” Here’s how it works:

  • Containers for each grade will be in the cafeteria.
  • Each penny counts as one positive point for YOUR grade.
  • Each silver coin counts as negative points for OTHER grades. In other words, dropping a quarter in another grade’s bucket takes away 25 points from their total!
  • At the end of the day on May 16, all change/points will be tallied.
  • The winning grade will be announced on Monday, May 19th, and the grade with the most points will win extra recess!
