FBLA is doing a competition between classes for the March of Dimes. There will be jars in the library for grades 7-12 and the school faculty. A penny in a jar means that group's balance goes up by one. A Silver coin in a jar means that the balance decreases by the number of cents that coin is worth (i.e. dime=-10, quarter=-25) a person can add coins to any jar. The class with the highest balance will win.
The winning class gets a no-assignment class period in:
7th or 8th grade: Math
