It's Almost Luce Carnival Time!!!
Hello Luce friends and family,
The annual Luce Carnival is set for Saturday, March 21st from 10 am-2 pm. It takes our entire Luce village to make this day possible. Later this week, your child's teacher should send home Luce Carnival raffle tickets. We are asking each family to try and sell a minimum of two books per child. There are wonderful prizes this year. A chance to win an iPod mini, Airpods, and a Visa gift card. Starting after February vacation, every child who returns a sold book will be entered into a weekly raffle for an Orange Leaf gift card and/or lunch in the library with friends. If you need additional raffle tickets, please contact Jammie Carty at Jammie.Carty@gmail.com.
This day will not be possible without volunteers. Please consider signing up for a two-hour block in one of our game or steam rooms.
