Event Calendar for 5 Days of Giving
How Can You Participate and Donate?
Day 1: Bring in your Change!
Over the next five days, Clairbourn's fourth and fifth grade classes will be collecting change.
To earn points for your team, donate pennies or bills of any denomination to your specific jar. To take away points from another team, drop your silver coins such as nickels, dimes, and quarters into your opponents jar!
The jars will be in the Reception Office until Tuesday, February 26. The winner of our Change for Change competition will get a small prize, but the biggest reward will be providing the students of Estrella Elementary School with basic school supplies.

Day 2: Share your coins/pocket change/bills and see whose water jug is filling up the fastest! Will it be the Lower School, Middle School, or Faculty and Staff who wins the challenge?
