Money piles up during lunches as student council initiates the first day of Penny Wars in 2016. Penny Wars lasts from January 4th to January 8th with all benefits going to the Four Diamonds Fund. Grades battle each other for the highest total. Pennies count toward each grade’s total; other denominations count against each grade. The winning grade gets a free cookie from the cafeteria.Student Council begins their fundraising through Penny Wars on January 4th, 2016. They’re collecting money for HHS Mini Thon to meet their goal of $50,000 to donate for research on childhood cancer.
