Recognizing our students...

School Fundraiser - CHOCOLATE!!!!!
We will be conducting a school-wide fundraiser to help give us more funds going into the summer and next school year, as we are running quite tight right now.
We are working together with Goalbuster Fundraising again (he did the tumbler cups for us last year) to sell CHOCOLATE BARS!!! This is a very different sale in that it provides immediate gratification, and a contract signed from parents. We will have school wide assemblies on April 24th (more details to follow) and the chocolate will be passed out on the 25th to students with returned permission forms. Prizes will be offered. The sale will end May 12th. There's "Nothing finer then being a Miner!"
