"A bake sale? We're having another bake sale?" "We've got to raise money somehow." Bake Sale "The sixth grade treasury is almost empty." "Yeah, but a bake sale? That's so boring."

How some stupid grade vs. grade thing that tricks you to giving money to the school? Our school does this thing called “penny wars”. The ideal is that a penny is one point, a hundred pennies would be a hundred points, while a dollar bill would be minus a hundred points. So, if the seventh grade girls had two hundred points, someone would put in a dollar bill, and then the seventh grade girls would only have one hundred points. And, a quarter is minus twenty-five points, a dime is minus ten points, and a nickel is minus five points. In other other words, pennies good, everything else bad.
