Dear Parents,
The Administrative Team and Auction Committee have teamed up to create some new incentives to gain participation in the TCMS Back to Basics Bash!
1. If a grade level sells 500 raffle tickets, they get to “slime” a GLA or administrator (including Mr. Hocevar, Mrs. Bennett, and Mr. LaBaw)!
2. The grade level with the most auction event ticket and raffle ticket sales will receive a non-uniform and field day!
3. A thermometer sign will be placed in the carline to show families the level of overall participation……
And…don’t forget about….
4. Students can win a Nook! For every auction event ticket sold, their name is put in a drawing for a Nook. The Deadline is March 11th.
5. The Homeroom with the greatest overall participation of ticket sales and basket donations will receive a pizza party!
6. For top individual raffle ticket sellers:
$100 to 3rd place, $150 to 2nd place, and $200 to 1st place
Thanks to all families for your wonderful support as we raise money for TCMS!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kimmitz
