It's Penny War time again!  CHECK your COUCHES, your CONSOLES, your CUPBOARDS and COFFEE CANS for all that loose CHANGE and support Park Elementary!

Penny Wars supports Park students with fundraising.  The War begins as students bring in pennies for their own class but silver and bills are used to bomb other classes.  A penny earns a students' class a point, while silver and bills count against the class total. 

In the end, it's a Win-Win for everyone!
