Penny wars
The annual Penny Wars competition at Wolf Creek Online High
School has been going on for the past two weeks. This year all the proceeds
from the game went to the local Family Pathways Organization. Wolf Creek
students enjoy this opportunity to help other people in the community.
Each Wolf Creek staff member had a jar with their names on
it located in the great room on the Wolf Creek campus. Students were encouraged
to bring in pennies, silver coins, and dollar bills to be a part of the game. Penny
Wars consists of positive and negative points.
If someone put 40 pennies in Sean’s jar, Sean would have 40 points. Dollars
and silver coins counted as negative points.
Students also brought in canned goods for Family Pathways Food
Shelf: canned peas, canned tomatoes, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and soap to earn
points. The teacher who won the penny wars contest was Meagan Rathbun. It was
nearly a tie at the end with Sandy Flint coming in second with overflowing jars
of pennies. The total amount of money
raised was $81.21.
