An action-packed, pirate-themed flyer for the "Cumberland CUSD 77 Raiders Penny War Fundraiser." At the top, the Raiders' skull-and-crossbones logo sits next to bold text reading "PENNY WAR FUNDRAISER!" with a call to "Bring in your coins to battle for your class!" The center of the flyer features four glass jars filled with coins and bills, labeled for different grade levels: K-2nd Grade 3rd Grade 4th Grade 5th Grade The main prize is highlighted in large, energetic yellow script: "...PIE A TEACHER IN THE FACE!" Below this, a cartoon illustration shows a cheering student smashing a whipped-cream pie into a teacher's face, surrounded by an explosion of gold coins and laughing children. The bottom of the flyer reads "Save your change & join the fun!" and lists the event dates as March 16-20. Would you like me to create a social media caption or a reminder announcement based on these details?
