How many jugs can we fill?

February 28th, 2008 by madisonb

Iroqouis Elementary is helping the community raise funds for the electronic sign by bringing in spare change from home and filling milk jugs.  Our goal is to fill seven jugs by the end of the school year.  Each time a jug is filled a class will be chosen to take it to the bank to watch it go through the electronic counter.  With seven classes in our school we are hoping that each class will get a turn to make the trip to the bank.

After a week of collecting we are finding that it takes a lot of change to fill a jug and that it gets HEAVY very fast.   

This activity gets our students involved in making our community a better place to live.  We can’t wait to see the sign and think it will be fun to see our birthday announced!

    What a great way to have our school kids get involved. With this project they feel “ownership” of the project. Keep up the good work, whoever thought of this.
