Fundraising Credits
Students who participated on an LDE team in the fall (100) or a CDE team in the spring (150) were required to earn "credits" to fund all of the events we attended. Credits must be at a zero balance by Monday April 15th. Students who do no have a zero balance may not be able to compete at the area CDE contest. There are a few opportunities still available to earn credits or students may "pay off" their credits with a check payable to Plano West FFA Booster Club. Attached is an updated credits spreadsheet. Please email Mrs.Graf if find that you are missing credits.
