East Woods Penny Wars PTO Fundraiser: Sept. 30-Oct. 4

Start collecting your knuts, sickles and galleons to turn in to Gringotts Bank. The more you collect, the higher chance your class has to win the HOUSE CUP!

 SEPTEMBER 30-OCTOBER 4 

Each class will have a cauldron near their grade hallways, labeled with that class name for collecting money.

  • Classes only compete against their fellow grade level.
  • A class adds to the Gringotts’ account points by adding pennies, bills, checks (made payable to Hudson PTO) or online donation to their own class cauldrons.
  • A class can put a hex on other class’ totals by adding silver coins (nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars) to other class cauldrons.
  • Each cent is worth one point when adding or subtracting.
  • The top 3 classes from each 3rd, 4th and 5th grades will receive a class gift!

BONUS!! If you bring in coins already rolled, you will receive a +25 point bonus on pennies, and a -25 bonus hex on nickels, dimes, and quarters!
For example: an already-rolled roll of pennies will equal +75 points for your class (instead of +50), while an already-rolled roll of quarters will equal a -1,025 point hex for another class (instead of a -1,000 point hex).
