Penny War Results

Congratulations to Mrs. Uhring’s room, they were the 2017 Penny War champions!  As the winners, they will participate in  a movie/popcorn in the building as a reward.  The total raised from Penny War was $2171.98!  That is a fantastic number- way to go Arno cougars!!  The funds earned from our Penny War will go towards purchasing books at Arno School.  Thank you for your support!!

For a good Cause…

On Monday, March 20th, Mrs. Warneck and Marie Pettit-Pokora walked to the middle school to donate 8 inches of their hair to the foundation called Children with Hair Loss. Their hair donation will be used to make wigs for children. We hope more people will join us next year and donate their hair.
