Brodhead Middle School will be holding a "penny war" the week of January 9-13 in hopes of raising the funds needed to supply School for Andy with a rain-fed water system.
This system will collect water from the roof, funnel it into guttering, and then into a large storage tank in order to provide the school with much needed water.
Grade levels at BMS will compete against one another by adding pennies to their jars, while putting silver coins in other grade level jars. Pennies will count as positive points, while silver coins will subtract. The grade level with the most pennies will be the winner.
By working together, one penny at a time, BMS is collecting change to make a change at School for Andy.
Every penny truly does count!
