Help us support the MS/HS — buy a calendar for $10 and get 16 chances to win a variety of prizes! We will do a name drawing every day and share the winner's name here on Facebook. All our 7th-12th graders have the calendars for sale. Every person who buys one has 16 chances to win (16 days...one person's name is pulled everyday). All funds are 100% funding our 7-12th grades classes' future senior trips, graduation festivities and such! All money is pooled and then divided to each class. Good luck, everyone! 🤞
