The McCants faculty and students recently enjoyed a friendly battle called Penny Wars. Each grade level donated pennies to receive points for the contest while sabotaging the other grade levels by donating silver coins or bills. At the end of the war, the sixth grade came out victorious! Proceeds went to benefit to the St. Jude's Children's Hospital. McCants students and faculty raised a total of $1,730.15. Seventh grade math teacher, Teresa Dewhurst was the faculty sponsor. Thank you, Mrs. Dewhurst, and to everyone who participated!
