This year the younger students will be provided a donation box to aid in their collecting.  The grades that raise the most funds will be rewarded with a pizza party and also if individual classes raise at least $100 then their class will be awarded a pennant.  Bronze pennants will be given for $100 raised, Silver pennants for $200, and Gold pennants for $300 per classroom.
