GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Hangbags for Hope
The Key Club will be collecting any gently used handbags, scarves or jewelry outside the lounge at lunch every day this week. These items will then be sold at an event outside of school with 100% of proceeds going towards Neuroblastoma Pediatric Cancer Research and to affected families on the island. Neuroblastoma is the most common cancer in infants under the age of 1.
The Breakfast Club – New Ticket Program
The Breakfast Club is introducing tickets to our program. They will be available for purchase in the mornings during breakfast or at the accounting office. Prices are 4 tickets for $1, or 20 tickets for $5. Each ticket is worth $0.25 and can be used towards Breakfast Club purchases. They are easy to carry around in your pocket, purse or knapsack. Then you don’t have to search around at the bottom of your bag for a few quarters and you can share them with your friends! To start this program off, we will be having a draw at the end of each week for the next 4 school weeks. Each bagel purchase gives you a chance to win $5 in tickets! The more you purchase, the better your chance to win! Good luck!
Also, to kick off second semester, on TUESDAY February 2nd we will be having a free bagel day! Everyone who comes to see us can have one free bagel. Quantities are limited, so come early!
