It is our spring fundraiser! This fundraiser is in lieu of sending students home with the task of selling door-to-door & delivering products where you only get to keep a small portion of the sales. Please help us avoid that by supporting this fun, friendly competition game of Coin Wars between classes.
This game is simple. It is basically a competition to see which class can raise the most money. Since class sizes vary, the classes will compete to get the highest average amount per student. Each day the money will be counted and there will be a traveling trophy for the class in the lead. There will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Additionally, there will be school wide prizes that are unlocked when fundraising milestones are reached, and daily winners for classes that do the best on individual days!
Last year, HSO funded over $3,200 on school field trips, fulfilled more than $3,800 of teacher funding requests, and even organized 6 awesome events. Through our Coin Wars fundraiser, we helped to beautify the school, adding murals to several walls and privacy glass in the office. This year, we’re excited to refresh the school cafeteria with our Coin Wars proceeds!
The week of March 9th - 13th, 2026.
Anyone can donate! Please ask friends, family, co-workers etc. to donate to your child.
You can donate by giving your child coins, bills, or checks (payable to Colwich HSO) that they can bring in any day for the week of March 9th-13th. They will put it into their class’s container each morning. There is also an option to donate online. So you can ask people near or far!
