Elementary PBIS Fundraiser - Our "Guess How Many?" Candy Contest was a BIG HIT at Meet the Teacher night so we are extending it through Thursday August 15th! Each guess is $1.00 with 4 different candy prize options! Students can bring their money tomorrow and Thursday to guess, with the winners announced Friday morning at our Morning Assembly! The closest guess without going over the actual number wins the candy prize! Thank you in advance and good luck to all!
