Dear St. Clare Families,
The auction is only two weeks away! Today, we talked with students about a class raffle competition. The class that sells the most raffle tickets between now and March 7 will win a Free Dress Day.
For families that have already turned in your raffle tickets, we have credited those evenly among your children. For instance, if you have three kids and bought four raffle tickets, then each of your children's class will get credit for 1.33 tickets. From here on, I will credit the sellers name on the raffle stub.
We sent home four raffle tickets with each family a couple weeks ago. If you would like more tickets, please let me know and I will get them to you. You can email me at ebooth@covantaenergy.com
The raffle is an important part of the auction and we thank you in advance for all your support
