No definite date has been set yet for the Cotillion but looking at April 17 as a possibility.  Mr. Mack will have the students vote for one of these three themes.

 

B.  Blue and White Tickets – This is going very well and the names of the winners of all the drawings can be found on the website under Junior Highlights.  The last White Ticket drawing was mid-November.  The next White Ticket drawing will be on either the 18th of December or right after Christmas break.  We have enough prizes for one more White Ticket drawing but will need to get more prizes, possibly Viking Spirit Wear and movie passes. The kids seem to like these prizes.   The next Blue Ticket drawing will be around January 15th.  The $660 spent on Wal-Mart gift cards for Blue Ticket drawings will get us through the rest of the year, but we will need around $300 for more White Ticket drawing prizes.  At the end of the year all Blue and White tickets are put together for one large drawing.
