Next week college basketball won't be the only madness happening in March! We will be holding March Money Madness, a penny war where Grade levels will be competing to see who can earn the most points to raise money for positive behavior rewards. The winning grade levels will earn a special reward and treat! How it works: -Each grade level will have a collection jar located in the main hallway by the office bathrooms. -Grade levels gain points for every penny/paper dollar added to the grade level jars. -Students can add silver coins (Nickels, Dimes, Quarters) to other grade level jars to lower their total points. Each silver coin will deduct the same amount of points as the coin's value, for example if a dime is placed in a grade level's jar, it will deduct 10 points from that grade level. We're looking forward to a fun week of friendly competition while raising money for our school!

Our 5th-grade students participated in their Career Wax Museum yesterday. They did AMAZING! Thank you to everyone who made this possible. Please visit our Facebook page for more pictures.
