On March 3, 2026, we begin our twenty-fourth March Madness Penny Drive. Before classes begin, students will be able to participate by putting coins into three barrels. The barrels were each marked for the three grades: 6th, 7th, & 8th. All pennies would go into individual grade barrels. Each penny was worth 1 point. Students could subtract points from another grade by putting silver coins into the opposing grade's barrels. (Quarters subtract 25 points; Dimes subtract 10 points, etc.) The team with the most points after nine days would win a school dance just for their grade. All money would then be donated to charity.
Students were given an opportunity to write persuasive letters nominating a charity. The letters were to include the charity to which the donation should be made along with information about the organization, and the reasons for their choice. The selection committee picked one grand prize winner and five runner-ups from each grade. Each grand prize winner will present a $200 check to their chosen charity during halftime of the student vs. staff basketball game. In addition, student council will award each grand prize student letter winner with a gift package. Runners-up in the letter-writing contest will have a $200.00 donation to their charity.
