LESS THAN A WEEK FOR MORE RAFFLE SALES .....

The Day School will be raffling off two iPad Minis at the "A Night on the Town in Paris" gala on January 26, 2014.

Raffle tickets were sent home on Friday and we are asking each NEMJDS family to sell at least 5 raffle tickets before the gala. Ticket holders do not have to be present to win, so anyone can buy a ticket!

Tickets are $10 each or six for $50. The more we sell, the better for our school! Tickets need to be turned in by Friday, January 24th at 2:30pm.

And here's a little bit of motivation .....

The family that sells the most iPad Mini raffle tickets will win their very own 7" Nook HD Tablet!

WE'RE HEADED TO PARIS! ARE YOU?

Our annual Gala fundraiser is ONE WEEK!

Buy your tickets before we sell out!

Gala tickets can be purchased with just a quick click.

Last year we sold out, so please don't delay buying your tickets for an incredible 'Night on the Town in Paris'! Students have been hard at work to create some extra special auction items that you won't want to miss.
