In addition to the daily activities, students can also contribute their spare change in the Penny Wars contest. Drop your pennies in your department jar to win positive points. Drop your silver coins in other department jars to count as negative points. Check the leaderboard each day to see where your department stands!

Penny Wars

What is a Penny War?

A penny war is a friendly competition. Every department will contribute coins to department jars. Different coins are worth different points, some coins are also worth negative coins! At the end, the department with the maximum points wins. Here are the rules for playing Penny Wars!

Rules
  1. 1 penny = 1 point
  2. For every penny that each department deposits into their own jar, they earn 1 point. The team with the most pennies/points by the end of the penny war wins!
  3. Other coins are negative points!
  4. By depositing nickels, dimes, and quarters (5 points, 10 points, and 25 points each respectively) into rival departments’ containers, you can deduct points from your competitors.
