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!

Our students did well and some even sold out of their art. Thank you to the City of Tyler, TheTyler Foundation, and our amazing visual and digital arts teachers for their support to make it happen!
