Our first popcorn day will be this Friday.  25 cents a bag…..limit 4 bags.  Please send a quarter with your student to school Friday (we’ll enjoy the special treat during quiet time).

Some students do well carrying the quarter into class in their pocket or you can tape it into the red folder.

Raffle Tickets (Lindbergh’s biggest fundraiser) went home this week.  Below is a message from the PTA:

There was a mistake with the payout amount for the prizes on the letter that was sent home. The raffle tickets have the correct amount.

1st – $500
2nd – $250
3rd – $250

We will also give a $50 gift card to the family that sells the most tickets
