Make A Wish Pumpkin Raffle:  The Snow Staff will decorate small pie pumpkins for a very worthy cause!  Pumpkins will be displayed in the lobby showcases.   They will be on display on October 21 with NO ticket sales.  Ticket sales will start on Thursday, October 22 and run through Thursday, October 29.  Pumpkins will go home with the winners on Friday, October 30.  Tickets will be on sale in the morning before school- in the lobby- or from me in the art room.  We have done this the last three years and have generated a nice donation to Make A Wish.  Not everyone wins a pumpkin, but every one that buys a ticket helps a charity provide a wonderful experience for a child in need of something special.  Many thanks for your participation!
