THE GREAT COIN WAR IS ON! ⚔️
Parents, get ready to dive into your couch cushions and check your cars—it's time for our Coin War Fundraiser!
💰 The Rules of Engagement:
Every house has its own container in the hallway outside the tea room. Here's how to play to win:
RAID FOR POINTS! The goal is to fill your house’s jar with high-point currency.
Pennies and Paper Bills (ones, fives, tens, etc.) COUNT AS POSITIVE POINTS for the house they are dropped into. Example: Drop $5 in the Green House jar to add 500 points!
SABOTAGE FOR POWER! This is where the "war" comes in! Silver coins are the enemy. Silver Coins (Nickels, Dimes, Quarters) COUNT AS NEGATIVE POINTS for the house they are dropped into. Example: Drop a Quarter in the Red House jar, and 25 points are removed from their total. Use your silver to target the current leader!
🏆 The Ultimate Prize Package:
The house with the highest score at the end of the Coin War will earn the ultimate trifecta of rewards:
🍕 A FREE PIZZA PARTY!
🎉 A PAJAMA DAY!
😈 THE HONOR OF PRANKING THE PRINCIPAL!
The war runs until October 22nd. Let the scheming begin, and may the best house win!

To all Elementary Drill Team Families:
The Tyler Christmas Parade is still on!
Please plan to meet Mrs. Hale, at the designated location on the map that was provided, at 5:30. We are pushing time back 30 minutes so that the students can spend less time in the cold weather.
Dancers will wear their uniform under a black jacket/sweatshirt and black leggings. NO JAZZ SHOES! Dancers may wear tennis shoes.
Dancers may also wear gloves and layers under their jacket.
No hoods or hats unless it is their Santa hat, Caldwell will provide Santa hats to those who are not wearing them.
Remember to pick up your dancer at Rose Stadium as soon as we are finished on the track. In the event that there is more wet weather, we have nowhere to wait.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation!
Mrs. Hale
