Congratulations to the winners of our “Cent”ennial Anniversary Penny Challenge – Mrs. Jones’ 4th Grade Class with an incredible 12 gallon-sized jugs of pennies filled!

In second place with Mrs. Gangloff’s class with 5 jugs of pennies, followed by Mrs. DiFilippo’s class with 4 jugs.

In total we gathered 42 gallon-sized jugs of coins, which we estimate to be about $2,000 in donations! We are extremely grateful for everyone’s generosity as every penny donated benefits our great school!

Special thanks to Mrs. Talaga for volunteering to run this challenge for our school.

As a reminder, tomorrow, January 31st is the last day to bring in pennies for our “Cent”ennial Penny Challenge!

The homeroom that collects the highest quantity of coins (not the total dollar value) as of 2:00pm on January 31st will win a pizza lunch for their classroom.

Thank you to everyone who has been participating in this challenge!  We are exceptionally grateful for your generosity!
