We Need Your Help! Our school is sponsoring a
fundraising drive to raise money for student activities. To
help us raise the needed funds, we are taking orders from the HOLIDAY
COLLECTION catalog you should have received from your child's

felt most members of our community would like to order a few things
for themselves or to give as gifts.
SEVERAL THINGS YOU WILL LIKE ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
- It is voluntary
- The products are guaranteed!
- There is no door-to-door selling!
STUDENTS CAN WIN EXCITING PRIZES!

EARN 15 SECONDS IN THE MONEY MACHINE!
Try to grab as much cash as you can! (Any cash won in the money
machine is in addition to the prizes they win on the envelope.)
PARENT'S PRIZE - If your order form has 10 or more total items sold,
you earn 1 free item from the catalog ($12 or less in value)!
Write selected item # in the "free item" box on the order
form.
CLASSROOM PRIZE - Every class that sells 175 items or more as a group
wins a PIZZA PARTY!
