We will be starting an easy and quick fundraiser for the Middle School sponsored by the Booster Club with the support of some generous families for their donation!
Please see the flyer for more information- students will get their order forms tomorrow to start asking family and friends to buy a ticket. All money raised will go directly to the Middle School!
We need participants, and participants need this class!!
Anyone can benefit from this, and Chuck Haggard will give no-nonsense real-world information using readily-available tools. He will explain a misconception that many people, especially women, believe to be truth.
The class will take place on March 7th. The registration fee of $20 per person goes directly to the High School students traveling to Bebra, Germany.
We would love to see this class filled! For more information or to register, please contact Lisa Sage via email, lisa.sage@usd340.org, or you may call the High School at 785-484-3331.
