The 5 iPads
of Christmas
In order to raise money and help improve technology at
our school, we are raffling off 5 iPads during the
month of December.
Each ticket cost $5.00 and gives you 5 chances to win an
iPad. When you purchase a ticket, you are giving the
student who sold you the ticket a chance to win an iPad
mini! The student that sells the most tickets will receive
an iPad mini. The classroom with the highest combined
sells will receive an iPad mini too!
We will begin selling tickets Friday, October 9th and will
continue until December 9th.
Drawing is set for Monday,
December 14th thru
Friday, December 18th.
A Big Thanks to all our corporate
sponsors for helping make this year’s
fundraiser a big success.
