We’d love to have you join us to welcome the school district staff back for the upcoming school year. Funds raised from this event are used to help offset the cost of transportation for students to BizTown in Auburn (part of the financial literacy unit in grade school).
You have the opportunity to have a raffle basket presented in front of the entire district at the beginning of their pep rally. District staff will be entered to win the raffle items after filling out their vendor passport cards.
