We are also asking for donations of small toys (i.e. happy meal toys) to use for our ‘mystery bag’ prizes as well as cases of soda, water, or individually wrapped snacks to sell. We ask that you send in toys and drink/ snack items no later than Tuesday, May 30th. Thank you to everyone who has been willing to give of their time and resources to help make this event a success!
Dimes for Diamond Fundraiser
We are partnering with JP McCaskey McCaskey mini-THON to raise money.
Info From HS Students:
- The bottles are 2-liter bottles that have a “Dimes for Diamonds” label on it.
- Some classrooms previously have actually cut the top of the bottle open so students could bring in larger change.
- Once the time slot has ended, we will come back and collect the cans. Class that raises the most money will win a PIZZA PARTY and DRESS DOWN DAY!
