The Lakeview Junior High Student Council is organizing a “Penny War” each school day during the week of April 11 – 15th, The goal of the “Penny War” is to help raise funds for two important causes: The American Red Cross and Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy. During the “Penny War”, 6th 7th and 8th graders are encouraged to donate spare change and dollar bills. All coins will count as positive points towards their class. For example, a 6th grader who donates a quarter will earn 25 points for the 6th grade class. All paper money will count as negative points. Students who bring in paper money will want the negative points to go towards the other class's donations. In other words, 7th grader donating a $5 bill would want to place the negative 500 points in the 6th or 8th grade container. This is where “war” strategy is important! The class that earns the most points wins!
100% of the proceeds will be split between the American Red Cross's effort to help Japan and the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy.
