Pennies for the Playground
National Lutheran School's Week
There's a lot going on at the Elementary Campus next week.
Pennies for Playground
All week we will be collecting change to help improve our playground. Each class will have a container to collect change in. The goal is to have more pennies than all the other classes. There's a twist though, you can try to "sabotage" other classes by putting silver coins or dollars in their containers. One penny will give the class a positive point and 1 silver coin/dollar will give the class a negative point. Whichever class has the most pennies at the end of the week will win a prize!! Save your coins and look through those couch cushions and dryer vents!!
Dress Up Days
Monday - Go Green for Jesus
Tuesday - Team Tuesday (wear your favorite teams spirit wear)
Wednesday - Dress Your Best (wear your sparkles and tuxedos)
