Hi Junior Class Families- I am the junior class sponsor and our big job this year as the junior class is to sponsor prom. This includes fundraising🙂 One opportunity we can take advantage of is to run concessions during the basketball games. There are 14 basketball events and if we cover all the games we could earn $1400 to put towards prom. Here is where we ask you for help. For each game, we need to have a minimum of two workers (three would be best) including one adult. Please reply to this email or call me with any dates you would be able to work. I will take the responses and then let you know what days we could use your help. If you haven't done concessions before, I can walk you through what is expected. The dates are below: 12/12 start time 5:00 12/16 start time 5:00 12/17 start time 5:00 1/2 start time 5:00 1/7 start time 5:00 1/9 start time 5:00 1/16 start time 5:00 1/21start time 6:00 1/23 start time 4:30 1/27 start time 5:00 1/28 start time 5:00 2/3 start time 5:00 2/4 start time 5:00 2/7 start time 5:00 Thank you, thank you for your support! One thing to note is any money raised this year and not used for prom will follow your juniors to their senior year and help pay for things like class shirts and trips.
