3rd Annual Bulldog Raffle
Friday, November 18 ~ 5:30 p.m.
Highland Middle School Pups Plaza

This will be fun event for all families to attend.  The highlight of the night will be the raffling of large themed baskets created by all the classrooms at Highland Primary and Highland Elementary.  Many other baskets donated by various departments and organizations within the Highland School District will be featured also.  Delicious treats and pizza by the slice will also be available that evening.  Doors will open at the Highland Middle School Pups Plaza at 5:30 pm on Friday, November 18.  At 8:30 pm, the first winning tickets will be pulled and the winners announced.  Families are encouraged to spend the evening looking at the wonderful baskets, eating yummy goodies, and visiting with other families while waiting for the winners to be announced.  However, you do not need to be present to win.  We will record your name and telephone number when you purchase tickets, and you will be called if you are a basket winner.  You can then return to claim your basket.

Tickets - Tickets will be sold in sheets of 26 tickets for $3.00/sheet and will be available the night of the raffle. OR, we will be doing a presale of 4 sheets for $10.00!!

Bake Sale - If you have a cookie, brownie, or dessert recipe that everyone is always raving about, we have a great place to showcase your goodies!  We will be selling small single serving dessert items for you to enjoy while deciding which baskets you want to bid on.  If baking is how you love to help, be looking for the volunteer flyer to be coming home soon.

Help - We will need help in wrapping the baskets and transporting them.   We will also need help on the day of the event.  Please contact Beth Guse if you would be able to assist us.

Box Tops

We are happy to announce the start of a new Box Tops Program for both Primary and Elementary schools. You can earn cash for your child’s school by clipping Box Tops coupons from hundreds of participating products. Here’s how the program works. Students bring all your Box Tops to your class! There are 6 levels of prizes. Each class will receive the indicated prize when they bring in that amount of Box Tops. The more Box Tops a class brings in, the more prizes awarded. The program starts September 6th 2011 and we will collect through the end of March. Prizes are awarded as each goal is reached. This is an accumulative based program, so every class can ultimately earn 6 prizes! 

The prizes are:

Number of Box Tops Prize awarded
500  Freeze Pops
1000  Laffy Taffy ropes
1500  Popcorn Party
2000  Ice Cream Sandwich
2500  Donut Party
3000  Pizza and Movie Party

We are excited to get this program started and reward ALL students for their hard work collecting Box Tops. Collecting is easy, Box Tops are found on hundreds of everyday products. Ask your friends, family, neighbors, co-workers to help collect Box Tops. We want to make this another big year for Box Tops!

For information about Box Tops and to see a participating product list please visit www.boxtops4education.com

If anyone is willing to help us out, we could use boxes of snack size baggies necessary for submitting our Box Tops for redemption. We would greatly appreciate your help! Baggies can be donated in the Box Top bins located in the school hallways. Thanks!
