Lunch Form Incentives
Lunch Form Prize Giveaways (Walmart Gift Cards)
It's that time of year when we ask parents to fill out and submit free and reduced meal applications. This year both campuses are running lunch form incentive programs! By submitting either a Free/Reduced Application OR submitting an Application Waiver, your child(ren) will be entered into a drawing for some GREAT prizes! See the flyers below for High School and Elemiddle information.
For more information on how you can enter to win a Wal-Mart Gift Card click HERE. All families are eligible to enter the contest by filling out the F/R form OR the Application Waiver.
Color Run- Let's Rally The Troops!!!
Everyone around here loves a friendly competition! Especially the principals! This year there is a competition between the 4 building principals to see who will be the GRAND MARSHALL at the PTO Color Run this month. Unfortunately, Mrs. Teague has a prior commitment and is unable to attend, BUT Mr. McNealy is stepping up to represent the PK-2 building in the RACE FOR THE COLOR RUN GRAND MARSHALL. Be sure to place your vote by donation by clicking this link https://cleverpto.ptboard.com/formvw/store?store=5556. The principal who raises the most funds gets to operate the main Color Run Fire Extinguisher! All proceeds benefit the students at Clever EleMiddle.
