Join the Penny War to Support Feed My Starving Children!
DuJardin Elementary is excited to announce an upcoming Penny War to support Feed My Starving Children! From February 18th - 27th, students can bring in pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters to compete in a friendly battle between grade levels—all for a great cause!
💰 How It Works:
- Pennies ADD points to your grade level total.
- Silver Coins & BILLS (Nickels, Dimes, Quarters) SUBTRACT points from other grade levels.
- The grade level with the highest total wins!
All proceeds will help provide meals to children in need. Encourage your child to participate and make a difference—every coin counts! Thank you for your support!
