What is a REVERSE RAFFLE
Reverse Raffle - ONLY 300 tickets sold
Works like a raffle ticket game but in reverse! ALL numbers will be called, and as they are called, they are out of game!
The last 5 numbers remaining will have a chance to split the $10,000 or keep calling numbers until only 1 remains.
1st number called along with the 50th, 100th, 150th and 200th numbers called will back in later in the game. (when only 10 remain)
$100 prizes to 50th, 100th, 150th and 200th and 250th numbers called.
AVOID the $6 fee online by bringing/sending in CASH or check to the front office (HS).
SCRIP NEWS
Reminder on the RaiseRight Rebate plan:
The first $100 in RaiseRight rebates goes to Falcon Community Supporters to provide our full time teachers with classroom reimbursement funds-
After you earn $100 in rebates for FCS, YOU decide what happens with the additional rebates earned during 6/1/23- 5/19/24:
1- Donated to SOAR- you will be able to receive a tax receipt if rebates are donated to SOAR
2- Donated to FCS for teacher classroom reimbursement
3- Sent back to you by check
4- Families with students eligible to save for the Senior Trip will donate first $25 to FCS (instead of $100) and any additional rebates earned will be put towards their senior trip.
