Here is a copy of the note that was sent home with students yesterday. I would also like to add that the people buying the tickets do not have to be present at the game to win the money. The numbers are posted online.

Dear parent(s) or Guardian(s);
It is hard to believe it is mid-November already. I hope everyone is checking the blog and your child’s backpacks for notices in regards to fund-raising events. Our latest fund-raiser will be a 50/50 draw at the Caps game on Sunday December 12th. With this event students will be fund-raising independently, therefor, the more they sell the more profit to be made. Students are to pre-sell 50/50 tickets for the Caps game. Tickets are $10.00 and the pot starts at $4000.00. The students will make $4.70 from each $10.00. The slightly tricky part is that if you ask for 10 tickets, you are responsible for selling those 10 tickets. If you do not sell them all, you are responsible for purchasing them. We cannot return unsold tickets. With that said, we can ask for a small amount of tickets, sell them, then print more. This way we would not have extra tickets. There is no problem to print more tickets when we need them. I really think that this could be a great fund-raiser. If you are interested in this fund-raiser send in the form below immediately. We will be printing our first batch of tickets on Friday.
