Mrs. Buckley sent home a flyer with instructions on a Trivia Night Raffle. Chances are $20.00 for one or  three for $50.00. Each child received a flyer. You are under no obligation to purchase a raffle ticket. That is entirely up to you. If you do purchase one, please explain to  your child that this only gives them a chance to win a prize. I tried to explain this, but some of the children still think that purchasing a ticket gets them the prize.

If you have not made a donation towards Trivia Night and would like to,  you still have time. Y ou may contact our room mom or send it directly to the school.

Have a great evening.
