I should have blogged this last weekend. A few weeks ago our school participated in a Penny War to raise money for our school Mission Trip. Eric was the main person in charge of this fundraiser. Without explaining all of the details of how it works, I'll just say that each class had a jar and if they put pennies in their jar they got positive points. If they put any other denomination into any other class's jar, that class got negative points. In the past this has been a very big money maker, making an average of $1,000 each time we've done it. Well, with the zeal of my husband promoting this, as well as other teachers' zeal (plus a couple of awesome rule changes near the end), our tiny school ended up donating nearly $4,000 this year! They REALLY got into it! I am so proud of our school and so proud of my husband. This really helps in sending our kids to the Philippines, too! The pictures above are of the "counting party" we had at our house the week after to count and sort all the money before taking it to the bank. Yay, God!
