Ms. Holden, who is the director of FFA, is also in charge of Penny Wars. Penny Wars is a competition between all 4 grade levels at Mac-Hi. You compete to see who can bring in the most change in pennies. All of the money they collect goes to Key Club, for the food bank program that they are starting.
When asked what makes Penny Wars fun, Ms. Holden said that what makes it fun for kids is the whole sabotage part of it. All of the grade levels love sabotaging each other to make each class have negative change. Also, counting change makes it fun for students because, you get to see how much money you have raised and how much you have accomplished.
FFA has been doing Penny Wars for 2 years now, and Ms. Holden says it has been a huge success for both years. This year with Penny Wars, FFA raised $284.00, and it was awesome because they involved the entire school in it. The Senior class won with an amount of $-16.18. Ms. Holden hopes to continue doing Penny Wars ever year.
