It's the Penny Wars! The CDHS sophomore class has declared a Penny War amongst all grades in the high school! All proceeds from the fundraiser will
support your favorite CDHS grade levels and a percentage from each class will be donated to the Greene County Women's League.
How it works: Containers will be located in the Main Office of Cairo-Durham High School now until Dec. 16.
Each penny counts as one positive point for your grade level.
Each dollar counts as positive points for your grade level. Example: a $1 bill gets you 100 points, $5 bill gets you 500 points, etc.).
Each silver coin counts as negative points for OTHER grade levels. In other words, dropping a quarter in another grade’s bucket takes 25 points from their total.
Points will be tallied and the winning class will win a prize which is to be determined.
Best of luck, high schoolers!
