Pennies are "positive." Here's how it works: containers will be located in the cafeteria during lunches each penny counts as one positive point for YOUR grade level each silver coin counts as negative points for OTHER grade levels. (a quarter takes 25 points away from their total) at the end of the day on October 18th, all change will be counted and points tallied. The grade level with the most points will win a popcorn and movie treat **Cash and dollar coins will also be counted as positive points** ***Rolled coins will count as double points*** Start saving your change, it can make a big difference!
