Class Penny War

This week, students are encouraged to bring in change and bills to contribute to the class penny war competition. Students may deposit change in their class jar before school and during lunch. Pennies add to a class's total with any other change or bill denomination take away points from a class's score.

All money raised will be donated to a recent LHS alumni, whose daughter has undergone heart surgery and is recovering, to be used for their medical expenses.

Bring in any change or other money you have to support this family!
