Stanley County School students and staff engaged in a friendly 2-week penny war, raising $3,209. The proceeds raised, went to Mrs. Vicki Walters, one of our 3rd grade teachers who is fighting breast cancer. Students in grades JK-12 added pennies to containers throughout the 2 weeks. The classroom that raised the most money won a pizza party. The winning classroom was Mrs. Walter’s 3rd grade class. Thank you to all that donated and thank you to Pizza Ranch for donating the pizza for the party.
