QotW 07-06-03: Fundraising

[SarahB]

One fundraiser we do every year is a little game called Penny Wars. In it, each class has their own jar, and for two weeks they compete to get the most points in their jar. Each penny is worth one point, and any other form of money is worth negative its value. For example, a quarter would be –25 points, $10 would be –1000 points. At the end, the class with the most points gets all the money in their jar(to go towards paying for their prom, yearbooks, etc), while all the rest goes to us. We normally only make about $500, but we’re a very small school and we haven’t done a very good job of advertising it in recent years. In a normal size school you could probably make a lot more, especially if you got people really excited about it.
