I am so incredibly excited and proud of our schools for all of the money they raised for the Imagination Library Project. Sugar Creek, on the other hand, was a little bit confused about the project and, in the future, if someone volunteers to help continue the tradition then they will need to figure out a different plan for them. Sugar Creek is so large that it is almost impossible to accurately do the Penny Wars, especially since most students don't travel to other classrooms and therefore can't access the other buckets. We didn't really take this into consideration when we started their Penny Wars. Another big problem at Sugar Creek was the lack of communication. Many teachers knew very little about the project and did nothing to encourage their kids to compete with the other classrooms. A few of the teachers contributed nothing all week long. Some teachers did such a great job and really got into the spirit, which was helped by telling their kids about the competition and encouraging them to donate money. In the future, I would recommend that you make sure everyone communicates clearly and accurately and be sure that each of the teachers receives the rules and prizes. New Palestine Elementary and Brandywine Elementary both did a fantastic job though and their schools got into the competitive spirit almost immediately. New Palestine rose over $1,200 and Brandywine raised over $600! Sugar Creek raised around $200 which was unexpected considering they are the largest school out of the three.
