Penny Wars will begin March 29th and end April 15th. Each grade will be competing against the other two grades. The grade level who raises the most amount of money will win an undisclosed prize!! Please donate change every day in homeroom. This money is given to the American Cancer Society. Let's all do our part to help Good Hope Middle School reach its goal to raise money for a great cause - to help find a cure for cancer.

Students, have you ever wondered what it would be like if you were in charge around here? Would you order Johnny's Pizza for lunch every day? Would you assign hours and hours worth of homework to your teachers? Would you make a teacher KISS A PIG? Will it be the lovely Mrs. Dampier? Or will it be Mr. Robbins who gets to kiss the bacon? Or maybe it could be Sweet Mrs. Loudon? I think we all would like to see Mrs. Eley puckering up to a pink pig. Softball girls, what about Mrs. DillingHAM? It's up to you, Good Hope Middle School Students. On your lunch shift, purchase 4 beans for 50 cents. Place the beans in the faculy members' jar that you would like to see KISS A PIG. The teacher with the most beans at the end of lunch on Friday will pucker up to the pig.
Who will it be? Mrs. Dampier, Mrs. DillingHAM, Mrs. Eley, Mrs. Loudon, or Mr. Robbins. Buy your beans during your lunch shift today through Friday!!

HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY EASTER HOLIDAY!!!
See you back here on Tuesday March 29th.
