The Salisbury Elementary School PTO Penny Wars are over and the winners are first grade in first place and fourth grade in second place. They earned the right to turn Principal Zach Brem and Assistant Principal Brian Muschlitz into human ice cream sundaes.

To say this fundraiser was a success would be an understatement. Funds from this fundraiser will be used to purchase not only a basketball hoop for the back playground but also extra playground goodies. Great job everyone!
