Introduction





Every Spring, both elementary schools in grades K-4 have the opportunity to experience Fun Day! It is a day that includes bounce houses, snowcones, soccer, a dunk tank, obstacle courses, relay races, tee shirts, pizza, and much, much more! But have you ever thought about how much money the school district pays to have this event? Probably not...........until now!

School districts around the country have been cutting their budgets left and right. This year, our Fun Day is in jeopardy of being cut from the budget! If you don't want Fun Day to be overlooked this year, then here is an assignment for you. Working in small teams, you will calculate the cost of Fun Day for both East and West Elementary Schools. Your overall goal is to carry out Fun Day with the lowest cost to the school district. The team with the lowest Fun Day cost will be to present their case to the school board, and save Fun Day for 600+ students in grades K-4.

We are counting on you! Good Luck!
