I would just like to preface this blog by explaining how much I never want to see coins again. I knew there was a reason I have a Debit card. This past week, my leadership team presented the annual Change for Children fundraiser. For those who are unfamiliar with this fundraiser, it is through the Granite Education Foundation and helps kids within our own school district receive eyeglasses, books, dental work, etc. A very worthy cause, right?
Okay, so we decided to have a "POD WAR". Our school is divided into pods. The English, Social Studies, and Foreign Language classes are together while the Math and Science classes are in another. Our downstairs pod includes the TLC classes, Music, Drama, etc. For a whole week, we collected money through 5th period. We then had to count the money and then roll it. Those people who think it great to put in several dollars all in pennies are now on my "I'm going to hurt you!" list! It took me several hours to count every bag full of money and if I ever see a coin again...
I now understand what accountants and secretaries go through. I have to give kudos to the students though. By the end of the week, we raised over $2200! I am just glad it's all over. If you want to give me money, either write me a check or give me cash. Any one want to give me money?
