FINAL PENNY PUSH

Mr. Stamper’s quest to collect as many pennies as possible for his Bunsen burner experiments before penny production comes to a halt is almost at its goal. You can help and receive a gift of appreciation in return. If you donate 500 or more pennies, you will receive an authentic World War II or Revolutionary war zinc soldier as a gift. There are five different soldiers to choose from.  If you have already donated 500 pennies or more, contact Mr. Stamper. Questions? See Mr. Stamper in H60 or email him at [email protected].
