Reminder: Penny Wars and College and Career Dress Down Week

Posted Date: 9/06/25 (10:50 AM)

🌟✨ REMINDER HAWK FAMILIES! ✨🌟

It’s time to gather up that spare change—Penny Wars kicks off this Monday, September 8th and runs through Friday, September 12th! 💰⚔️

Here’s what you need to know:
🪙 Drop coins and dollars into your grade-level bucket during morning drop-off (7:50–8:20 AM).
⭐ Pennies and dollars add positive points for your grade level!
📊 Points will be tallied daily and updates shared on the PTA Facebook page.
👑 The grade with the most points at the end of the week earns a VERY SPECIAL TREAT!

🎭 Grade Mascots:
•VPK/PreK → Yoda
•K → Jedi
•1st → Stormtrooper
•2nd → Boba Fett
•3rd → R2-D2
•4th → Chewy
•5th → Darth Vader

Funds raised will directly support field trips and end-of-year activities for every grade level. 🎉

So check those couch cushions, dig through those junk drawers, and send in your coins and dollars—because every penny makes a difference for our Hawks! 🦅❤️

May the (fundraising) Force be with you
