1,2,3,4.....We Declare a Penny War!

Get ready, Tigers, Penny Wars start Monday!

Penny Wars, presented by the Holy Cross Parents' Club, is open to everyone in grades PK-12 and will take place September 15-19.

Our Parents' Club is a part of the Council of Catholic School Cooperative Clubs, and the money raised this year will support the CCSCC's annual Clothe-A-Child Program, where CCSCC members will purchase clothing items for children in Catholic Charities' Head Start Program.

Start collecting your coins now! Not only will you be raising money for a great program, but the grade with the most points will win an ICE CREAM PARTY!!

The Rules:

Each grade level will have a jar to drop their pennies in between next Monday through Friday.

Each penny is worth one point. The grade level with the most points, WINS!

Beware, because grades can sabotage each other to try to deduct points by dropping silver coins or paper money into another grade's jar.

Primary School (PK-4th) will share a jar. All other grade levels will have their own jars. Jars will be placed outside the Middle School and High School Offices.

Paper Money	Subtract 100 points
Quarter	Subtract 25 points
Dime	Subtract 10 points
Nickle	Subtract 5 points
