Thank you, parents for supporting Change Wars. Each day, the top 3 class winners were announced. At the end of the week, the class that accumulated the most money won! Originally, a popcorn party was planned for the winning classroom, however, PTO was so amazed at the participation that all classes will get a free popcorn party! Mrs. Messenger's 3rd grade won overall 1st place and will be treated to a pizza party. Grand total for Change Wars: $3,218.28.
Each days totals were posted on the Commons glass wall so students could view the totals and do some extra Math!

Today, many of those students celebrated with fun activities during the "Reading Challenge Reward Day!" Thank you Mountaineer Bounce and Jeff Audia, for providing activities. A very special Thank You to our parent volunteers: Mrs. Adkins, Mrs. Sole, Mrs. Gobel, Mrs. Leach, & Mrs. Ross for volunteering your time to make the day a success!
