Coin Wars
Last year, Crooked River students participated in a school-wide Coin War battle between all grade levels. Pennies were positive and silver coins were negative. It was an all-out battle royale between the grades, with Second Grade becoming victorious and winning a cookie party!
The students had such a blast participating in this fundraiser, that we have made this an annual event. It worked on their counting, strategy skills, and including the students counting the coins to help improve on coin recognition! So start saving your pennies, folks! Coin War 2025 is March 17 - 21, 2024.
