The Rules
Each grade level will have a jug to drop coins into between 3/16-3/20. Each penny (1 point), nickel (5 points), & dime (10 points) helps your grade level. The grade level with the most points will when a prize of their choice from a list provided.
But....grades can blast each other and try to deduct points by dropping quarters into the other grade level jugs.
