What an incredible week—our Burgess community came together and raised $3,521.37 in only seven short days!

This year’s Penny Wars was another great battle where everyone wins. 🏆
A huge thank-you to our Burgess families, teachers, support staff, and admin team for making this fundraiser such a success.
We can’t wait to battle it out again next year! 💪✨

💚🐢💙 Woohoo!! Congratulations First Grade! We are so proud of YOUR and ALL of Our BES Sea Turtles! 💚🐢💙

🎉 Congratulations First Grade! 🎉

You are the big winners of the 2025 Penny Wars! 🏆✨
Thank you to every student, parent, and teacher who made this year’s fundraiser such a fun success. Your coins, bills, and sabotage strategies kept us all on our toes until the very end!

Way to go, First Grade—enjoy the victory! 🎈

⭐️It’s The Final Countdown, BES Sea Turtles! ⭐️⬇️

Penny Wars – Final Hours!
First grade might be in the lead, but did you know some grades are only $100–$200 away from stealing the crown?

This is the moment to rally your family and friends! With just four hours left, every donation can make the difference for your child’s grade.

Will first grade and their teachers repeat last year’s victory, or will a last-minute sneak attack flip the leaderboard and hand the trophy to another grade?

👉 Make those final donations now and help your grade finish strong!
