Penny Drive is Here!

It’s once again time to battle for year-long ownership of the CHP’s big screen TV and projector! Band together with your hall and gather your
pennies to win! All other coins and bills are sabotage money – put them in other halls’ jars to subtract from their point totals. The hall
with the most points has first choice of prizes, the one with the most overall money (including sabotage) gets the second prize.

Jars will be available in the Honors office to deposit your money during weeks 4 through 6. Come to coffee hour Friday of week 6 to see the dramatic conclusion of the competition!
