Penny Wars FInal Total

Our Penny War ended today at the Junior High. It was funny, the seventh graders finally caught on how to work it and started quite a stash of their own. For the most part, the eighth graders were out of it, and the lost pretty bad. The ninth graders also had a pretty big stash. In the end, the 7th and 9th graders tied. It was pretty amazing. Over $500 in pennies were brought in. On top of that $1000 in other coins and bills were brought in. The grand total was $1498.32. About $800 of that was brought in just today. Boy, it sure is a lot of fun to count and roll all those coins. The $1500 was more than double our goal. So that means that me and another teacher are going to be duct taped to the wall. We haven't set a date for that, but it will be in the next couple of weeks and I will definitely post pictures and maybe a video of that. The $1500 means that each student brought in just over $6. Now we know that not all kids brought in money and others brought in a lot more than that. . This total was also the most money that was raised in any given fundraiser ever at our Junior High. I would just like to thank everyone that helped out with the Penny Wars. What a great community that we have here. The money raised will definitely help out with our faculty member's medical bills and I'm sure that he will appreciate it greatly.
