Join the Fun! Annual Penny Wars! Get ready for some friendly competition! The National Honor Society is excited to host our Annual Penny Wars from December 2 to December 5.
Here's how it works: each penny or bill you donate counts as a positive point for your grade, while other coins count as negative points for opposing grades. The team with the most points at the end wins! All the money raised will go to the Fosston Holiday Spirit Fund, helping to provide warm holiday meals for families in our community. Let’s make this holiday season brighter for those in need! Get your coins ready and join the fun!
