Tuesday, March 10, 2020 Teachers: Please read announcements during 3rd period. Also remind students that they can be found on Canvas every day.

Announcements It is Penny Wars Time at WHS!! Penny Wars is a yearly fundraiser by Student Government to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Here is how it works: Between March 9 and March 27, bring as much change as you can into your 3rd period class. Each cent counts as a positive point. A quarter=25 points. If your class is falling behind, bomb other classes by delivering dollar bills to those boxes. Bills are negative points for all those cents, so $1 bill = -100 points. The top 3 scores when the war ends receive prizes: pizza party, donuts, or cookies. Not sure if you can make the top 3? There are other ways to compete. Any class that collects $50 (regardless of points) will receive cookies as a prize. How low can you go? The lowest negative score will receive donuts as well. Let’s do this, Shamrocks!!
