Everyone is doing so well with our Spring Fundraiser!! I have heard that there are two more GOLDEN tickets on the last set of boxes that the vendor dropped off yesterday!! Golden ticket on your box means a ONE POUND Chocolate bar!!!
As you sell your boxes of candy bars send your money in and get another box so you can get a chance at that one-pound candy bar!!!

What an awesome set of Children we have at PHE!!!
We only have 63 of our 135 children selling candy bars so far for our spring fundraiser, but let me tell you they are definitely ROCKIN it!!!

If your child sent back a payment envelope and it was not signed to send another box back this evening, I did not send one. If you require another box, please send a note with your child tomorrow!!!

If you haven't signed up to sell yet and still want too, either call me (Saundra) or send a written permission slip with name address phone number and email on it so i can get your child in the system.
HAPPY FUNDRAISING!!!
