PENNY WARS!!!!

 The first homecoming class competition will begin this week and run until next week to earn points for your grade!!!  Penny Wars is a serious class competition that helps each class earn points for their grade for Homecoming, here is how it works:

 

• bring in all the change and cash you possibly can
• pennies are positive points
• silver and dollars are negative points (higher the value of the cash more negative points its worth)
• fill your grade's bucket up with the most pennies to win points for your homecoming, and put silver and dollars in the other grades buckets to give them negative points
• buckets will be in the commons and at the hub ONLY at lunch time everyday
  
  The class who raises the most points by the end of lunch on Friday Nov 6th will earn serious points for their grade, this is serious..... this is war... this is Penny Wars!!!

On This Day in History

October

 29, 1562: George Abbot, translator of the Gospels, Acts and Revelation for the King James Bible, is born. He became head of the Church of England in 1611, but his popularity (and his health) declined sharply after he killed a man in a hunting accident in 1621.

  

The Word of God for the Day

 

Psalm 37:4    Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

 

The Official CCA Bad Joke of the Day

 

A man sits down at a table at Starbucks to wait for a friend.  Suddenly he hears someone say, "Now that's a nice shirt."  The man looks around but he can't tell who said it.  A little later he hears someone say, "You've really got great hair."  The man looks around again, but can't tell who said it.  Finally, he hears, "You're pretty handsome."  This time the man is shocked because he realizes that the words came from a bowl of sugar and Splenda packets sitting on the table.  He can't believe it and he asks one of the servers, "Hey, what's up with these sweetener packets?" The server says, "Oh, those are complimentary."
