RAFFLE TICKET SALES

Thank you to all who have sold raffle tickets! Raffle ticket sales will continue through the month of April. Please let us know if you would like additional tickets.

RAFFLE TICKET INFO

Raffle tickets for our All that Glitters Gala were distributed to students this week, so please check those backpacks!

This year we are doing our raffle a little bit differently - rather than having 3 or 4 items that we will draw winners for at the Gala, we are going to draw one winner every school day during the month of May. Each day one winner will receive a gift card valued between $25 and $100. See the image below for details regarding which gift cards are assigned to which days.

Raffle tickets are $10 each; every winner will more than double their money! Please bring raffle tickets with you when visiting family and friends over spring break. Winners don't need to be local!

We are asking each family to sell 10 tickets. Please return ticket stubs to the front office in the bag you received the raffle tickets in so we can properly account for all tickets distributed and ensure incentives are awarded properly. Please return any unsold tickets to the front office.

Incentives for raffle ticket sales are as follows:

Each family that sells one book (10 tickets) - one free dress day (5/3)

Each family that sells 5 books - lunch with Corporal Foote

Each family that sells 10 books - silly string the Principal

Raffle tickets will be sold through the end of April.

Thank you for your continued support. I am grateful for this amazing community.
