Today we contributed to the elementary school's fundraiser, Penny Wars. Jonas loves this fundraiser because it becomes a competition between grade levels and grades can "bomb" other grades. Basically, the school collects money to utilize to help families in the school with food, clothing, and other Christmas needs/wants. Each grade tries to collect the most pennies, but other grades can "bomb" the buckets with silver coins which goes against the total penny count. It's kind of confusing but super fun. This year Jonas was determined that his grade would win the pizza and movie party. He saved all the coins he could throughout the year (and our friendly elf, Jingle, provided a few pennies as well)...and 3rd grade won! He was so excited! Plus, I love that Jeff and I got to help provide a bit of Christmas for families in our community.
