Penny Wars Is On The Battlefield
The Student Council found a way to make raising money fun. The Penny Wars was created to raise money for Takoda Alldredge, an eighth grader, who was diagnosed with Burkitts Leukemia. The school set the goal of raising one thousand dollars. The students reached the goal, and as a reward they got in the Christmas dance for free. Jennessa Crystal, an eighth grader, said, “The Penny Wars is a good competition.” Seventh grade, eighth grade and ninth grade could add money or subtract by adding pennies or dollars for adding, and sliver change to subtract from other grades. SJHS raised about 2,000 dollars for Takoda. The seventh grade won.
