They offer 20% of ALL sales if we have 15% or more of our student enrollment attend.
They give us a $200 marquee bonus if we promote the event for 2 weeks (additional announcements are allowed with the event promotion) or 1 week on the marquee and post on facebook or twitter tagging spring creek.
We will have 16 teacher volunteers for 30 minutes shifts each, limited to 16 volunteers because each volunteer gets an apron, $15 gift card, and a free meal the night of the event to be enjoyed before or after their shift. If we choose to have an apron contest they will award the winner with a $25 gift card.
They will ask us to provide a list of names of students by homeroom to be checked in at the door the night of the event, the homerooms (I think 3 will need to double check) with the most in attendance will each get a cup/pin/$10 gift card and t-shirt that if worn at any time after the event they will receive free ice cream. Everyone in the homeroom receives a prize even if they are not able to attend the event.
At the end of the event each child under 12 will receive a coupon for a free kids meal to be used another night.
They want an opportunity at an assembly to present a check and prizes to the winning homerooms.
