At the end of February, Lewistown Central Elementary 4-6th graders tried a new way to raise money for their PBIS fund by having a Tattoo-a-Teacher Fundraiser. Students could purchase a temporary tattoo for a teacher or staff member to wear on Monday, March 2. It was a hit! Miss Bitner won the award for "Most Tattooed Teacher" with Mr. Batterton coming in second. Everyone had fun, even the teachers (even though they are looking tough for their photo). This fundraiser along with money raised at the Valentine's dance and selling mini figurines all totaled around $1,000! Thank you to everyone who has supported us!

Come out to the Lewistown Park District Building tomorrow night for a fun night of music bingo. Only $5 per card and no music knowledge necessary!
