Penny Wars starts next week!! Are you ready Mart ISD?! Participation is open to grades PK through 12. Each class will have its own bucket and will compete against the other classes. Gain points by adding pennies to your grade’s bucket and subtract from others’ by adding silver coins or bills to their class bucket. Start saving, start strategizing, and get ready for some friendly competition. Every coin counts, and every Panther makes a difference. The winning grade will get to duct tape one of their teachers to the wall!
Let the games begin! 💰💜🐾
