Penny Wars Update: So far our SIMS students have raised a total of $110.20 for Special Olympics! One of the Penny War rules is that silver money deducts points. With that being said, the grade breakdown is as follows:
6th grade is at -$13.25. 7th grade is at $60.67. 8th grade is at $6.93. If you have a sixth grader at SIMS load him or her up with pennies and bills so that they can get on the positive side! The grade that raises the most money will win a hat day!
