Events & Fundraising

1..2..3...4 We Declare a Coin War!

We are declaring Coin Wars from March 2–6! Each grade level will have a “pot of gold” to collect coins and cash as they compete to earn the most points.

How it works:
  • Pennies and silver coins = 1 point each
  • Paper money earns its value PLUS a zero!
  • $1 = 10 points
  • $5 = 50 points
  • $10 = 100 points
  • …and so on!

🏆 The grade with the most points will win a PARTY and get to choose from a special menu!

NEW this time around: There is NO sabotaging other grades — this is all about positivity, teamwork, and friendly competition!

All proceeds will benefit the Senior Class Trip for 2026. Let’s work together, have fun, and fill those pots of gold! 🌈💛
