It seems it takes the whole period to collect ad count everyone's money. Today we did a promo at lunch called "Stuck for a Buck". One of our staff members volunteered to be stuck to the wall with duct tape. So at lunch students could buy a strip of tape for fifty cents to stick him to the wall.
We made $80 just at lunch...let alone the rest of the day...it was awesome! One student brought his birthday money---$50! Another student brought his own $20 he earned. It was really cool..for student to be so giving. I know they are competing for pizza...but still...it's pretty cool!
Anyway...yes this is about actual counting BUT will you allow me to stretch it a bit? It also makes me think about what counts in life. Today we asked our students what success means & to define a success they had today. The point was there are little successes that lead to bigger successes. Don't just concentrate on the enormity of the big things that seem impossible...because it's all the little things that lead there. That's why we end our daily Pennies announcement with "Every cent counts"...because it does! :-)

You are so right that sometimes we take our minds off the little things and focus on the big things when it is the little things that make the big things possible.
Financially speaking, my boss when I lived in Montana was a big believer and promoter of the phrase "Mind the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves". There is a lot of truth in that and he proved very successful making that statement a part of his life.
