Slice the Price - Domino's Pizza Card Fundraiser -

January 13th - 27th

For Just $15 you get a BOGO Domino's Pizza Card good until the end of 2022. Anytime you order a pizza from Domino's you will get 1 pizza free (order 2 pizzas-get 2 free, order 3-you'll get 3 free and so on!) using the promo code found on your card! It's good for multiple uses throughout the year and valid at all Domino's locations in the USA! For every card sold - 50% comes right back to Big Shanty!

They also have some pretty cool prizes!

Information will be coming home tomorrow in your student's folders, but here's everything you need to know to get started online!

The first link is your online store, which you and your participants will share on all social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) and email/text to family, friends and co-workers.

The second link is your dashboard, which you can use to keep track of your online sales. This will also feature all of the information your participants and their families need to stay up to date on your fundraiser, so be sure to send everyone both of these links!

The district has updated guidance regarding parents and visitors effective December 1, 2021:

• Due to continued social distancing and limited visitors in the classroom, we are sorry that parents will not be allowed to attend the classroom holiday celebrations this year.
• Due to lack of space and continued social distancing, parents may not request to have lunch with students at this time.
• Students will continue to walk to class independently at drop off.
• Late check in, early check out, and ASP check out procedures will remain the same at this time.

We appreciate your continued support at BSI.
