Turn in your raffle tickets

Each family has a commitment to sell a minimum of $200 during our winter fundraiser and we are aiming to fundraise this year a total of $13,000. We will have 12 winners, with special prizes on Fridays, and the last day of the raffle!

Here is how it works:

1. Sell (or buy) your  tickets. You can sell them to your family and friends.

2. Place them in the raffle drum. Fill out your tickets and bring them with the total amount raised (cash, check or zelle) to the office anytime before the raffle starts.

3. From December 2nd to the 17th, each day during the morning assembly we’ll do the drawings. Come to see if your tickets are pulled from the Tumbler. Each ticket has 12 chances to win something!

4. Winners will be contacted directly via email or by phone.

Note: Remember that this is a mandatory fundraiser.

Picture Retake

Pictures with class will be back on December 5th to take all missing pictures and pictures of those who want a retake.

Please remember to wear your complete mass uniform, including the sweater and the tie.

• If you want a retake: you must bring the previous packet back and give it to the photographer*

• If you were absent: just be ready with a big smile and your uniform at 9:00 am that day.

And don’t forget to order your photos! You can use this link to order:
