Special Drawing Features Fun Prize Packages

The Million Minutes Reading Festival is just a few days from now, and it's going to be a great celebration for the students with games, activities, and treats that you won't want to miss.

Also part of the evening will be a special drawing that will help raise money for playground and other classroom improvements. This year, we have received enormous community support and have created 14 fun prize packages.

You can purchase tickets at the event: 1 ticket for $3, 4 for $10, or 10 for $20. Then just write your name and phone number on each ticket and drop it into the bucket of the prize package of your choosing. The drawing will be held at 7:30 p.m., and you don't have to be present to win.

A huge thank you goes out to all the local businesses, restaurants, and attractions that donated items for our drawing. And another round of applause for the children's authors who autographed books for us!
