Basket Raffle is the next big fundraiser.   We will start collecting donations for baskets on Tuesday, April 18th---we are announcing before break, so if anyone wants to bargain shop during break they can!  All items are due April 28.

The Themes are:

CV: Chocolate

Concert Choir: (two baskets) Outdoor Fun, including Bar-B-Q/Grilling   for one basket and Movie/Game Night for the other basket

Beginning Choir: (two baskets)  Spa/Pampering Basket and a Beach Party Basket

Please bring in items for the baskets for you class.  You can bring in inexpensive items, or a small money donation for the basket. You do not necessarily have to spend money to contribute to the basket.  You can go to local businesses and ask for donations to the basket. Think big or small! You could put in a free weekend vacation rental for the Beach Party Basket or ask for a massage envy gift card donation for the Spa Basket.  You could get luxury chocolates for the chocolate basket or ask for free donation tickets to the movies for the movie basket.  Be creative and have FUN with your donations toward your basket.  Feel free to donate toward baskets that are not assigned to your choir if you have something that would be good to contribute toward the basket.

ONCE we have all the baskets together, we will have multiple competitions among choirs and students to sell tickets to win the baskets.  Students will sell basket tickets ($1/ticket) and the proceeds will go toward the general fund, not individual student accts.   There will be a competition among choirs to sell the most tickets.  The choir with the most tickets sold will win a donut party.  There are also 1st,  2nd, & 3rd place student winners.  3rd place is a special coffee or sweet treat brought to the winner at lunch one day at school.  2nd place is a special fast food lunch brought to the student during lunch one day at school.  & 1st place is a free movie night for you and a friend!

Individual ticket sales will be counted and finalized on May 19.  The booster will continue to sell tickets until May 26, but student sales will end on May 19 so we can determine our winners.

The winner of the basket will be drawn at the chorus banquet May 26 and we will sell tickets during the Spring Concert with the Baskets Displayed.
