NEXT WEEK! Support Mellette PTO by joining in on the Classroom Coin Challenge!
Each classroom has its own container for collecting coins. The goal is to earn the highest total in coins.
Classes can sabotage other classrooms by placing bills in their container, which will be subtracted from the coin totals.
The class that earns the highest total of coins (minus the total of bills) will win an ice cream party!

CALLING ALL THIRD - FIFTH GRADE GIRLS! Check out this fun opportunity!
