Coin Challenge from March 1 - March 30

The Coin Challenge has begun! Send in your loose change and have your child drop them into the 2 liter bottles in your connections class. Each week the coins will be collected and counted. The connections class that raises the most money per grade will have a party of their choice (chosen by their connections teacher, paid for by the HSA).

Money raised will go towards purchasing 3 - 4 benches for the outside of the middle school.

Interested in purchasing a bench? Contact us at shmshsa.chairs@gmail.com for more details.

Good Luck to all!
