"Look," Eric said as they walked down the hall. "Mr. Day is taking out the dimes."

The display case near the gym was open. Mr. Day was putting the rolls of dimes into a large wooden box.

Eric told Mr. Day, "I brought in six more cans. Cam brought in four."

"Take a look," Mr. Day said. "Every roll has fifty dimes. That's five dollars."

Lots of rolls were neatly lined up in the box.

"There's enough here to help pay for the skylights," Mr. Day said. "At the assembly, I'll announce how much we raised. Later today, I'll take all the dimes to the bank."

Cam and Eric gave Ms. Benson their soda cans. Then they went to their seats.

Green Hints: What you can do to help the environment was written on the board.

Eric opened his notebook. He started to copy Ms. Benson's Green Hints.
