Prematurity Awareness Month
How to hold a Coin Collection Competition: During Prematurity Awareness Month, you distribute boxes to each homeroom in your school and then compete with other homerooms by seeing which homeroom can raise the most money by the end of the month. Plan of Action: Step 1: Contact your principal or vice principal in person to discuss the idea (having a Key Club advisor with you would be effective) and explain to he or she what March of Dimes is and what they raise money for Step 2: If they approve, which they should, congratulations! Now, you can have the principals send an email out to all homeroom teachers explaining the competition Step 3: Have homeroom teachers provide their own containers in which to keep the coins. Step 4: At the end of each week, have homeroom teachers count up all the change and then have them email the Key Club advisor on how much they raised that week. Step 5: Make sure on the morning announcements, there is a report on which homeroom is in 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place – this will increase the competitiveness among the teachers Step 6: At the end of the month, count up the change and see who the winner is!
