More information to follow in the coming weeks!  Remember-this is our last big fundraiser for the June 1st deadline of meeting the $225 requirement to SHS.  If you still need to meet your financial giving commitment to the school, this is a great way to do so.  100% of the proceeds go directly to SHS!  80% of your collected pledges go towards your financial giving obligation!  Pledge envelopes were sent home April 17th.  Start asking for pledges from friends, family, neighbors, and grandparents!  All of the information and instructions are in your pledge envelope.

 

Prizes will be given for turning in your pledge envelopes on Wednesday, April 25th and Wednesday, May 2nd!

 

If your entire class turns in their pledge envelopes with all monies collected by Monday, May 14th, then your entire class gets a PIZZA PARTY!

 

Remember to eat at California Pizza Kitchen the weekend of May 4th-6th.  CPK will return 20% to Sacred Heart School.  Take your CPK flyer (in your pledge envelope) with you to lunch or dinner. It's great food and easy money!
