Fundraiser: Christmas Ornaments

Are you looking to add some new decorations to your tree this year? Maybe one to support your local school? Then our newest fundraiser is perfect for you. The Scholastic Bowl team and the Lady Raiders Basketball team is selling glass ornaments with Burton insignia. The money they will be receiving will be split between the two teams. The ornaments are three inches in diameter and are made of glass. On the front is the Burton shield and the back they will say Burton. The cost of the ornaments are ten dollars. 

One of the purposes of this fundraiser is to allow Scholastic Bowl to pay their bills. The Scholastic Bowl is a non revenue activity meaning they do not charge for admission as other events do. They take the money they raise and put it back into the school system. When they need a bus to travel, they take the money they have raised and pay for their gas. They also pay for officials, and they need to buy new shirts for their team. Last year, they used left over fundraising money to purchase a new score board. The Lady Raiders Basketball team is still working toward purchasing new Nike shoes, so any funds they receive will be put toward this purpose. 

If you are looking to purchase one of these you may contact the Scholastic Bowl coach, Mr. Sharpe. Also, you can contact the Basketball coach, Mr. Coffey.
