Pennies war during lunch on Friday, Feb. 21st (multipurpose room and mezzanine) -- Each penny counts as one vote and every silver change counts as deductions. The rules are: Teams place pennies in their own jar, and paper money and silver coins into the jars of the other groups. This fuels the competition; pennies count positively towards a team’s total, silver coins and paper money count against a team. Penny = 2 pts Nickel = 5 pts Dime = 10 pts Quarter = 25 pts Dollar = 100 pts On Monday, February 24, there will be an announcement of leading homerooms and on Monday, March 3, announcement of homerooms that earned a gold (collected $300), silver (collected $200), or bronze (collected $100).
