In case you haven’t heard, the 8th grade farewell committee hosted a school wide assembly last Friday with the amazing Detroit Pistons. Part of this assembly was to promote the 8th grade farewell party fundraiser. This fundraiser is completely optional, open to all students, and a great way to promote a family event. Students are able to purchase/sell tickets to the Sunday, March 19th basketball game. Order forms are being sent home, with extra copies in the office and/or soon to be online on the PTSA website.
Students can earn different "awards" for the number of tickets sold as the flyer indicates.
If you are interested in purchasing tickets to this game, please have your student fill out the order form along with payment for the tickets to the office. There is a box in the office labelled Pistons Order Forms. These orders MUST be in by March 3rd. We cannot accept any late orders after that point.
Tickets will be returned to your student to then distribute.
Thank you so much for your participation.
