A Penny War is coming Tuesday – Friday, April 5th – 8th for Grades Pre-K through 8!

Boy Scout and current Sophomore, Gavin T., is hosting a Penny War to raise money for his Eagle Scout project. He is planning to build a GaGa Ball Pit on the upper playground this Spring. More information on his project can be found by clicking here.

Penny war rules: 1 penny is equal to 1 point, but silver coins can be used to sabotage other teams. The grade with the most points wins a pizza party!

ATTN: JUNIOR & SENIOR PARENTS – WE NEED YOUR HELP!

YOUR MONETARY DONATIONS WILL GO DIRECTLY TOWARD PRIZES. Traditionally, each student leaves with a prize. We will also have 5-10 top prizes.

If you are able to contribute donations of cash or checks (payable to SMSA Post Prom), please give directly to Stephanie Korb or Venmo (post prom in memo); @Stephanie-Korb-4. If donating through Venmo, please do not accept the purchase protection prompt as this adds a service fee for taxable goods which is not applicable.
