The Winter Drumline and Winter Guard would like to invite you all to participate in a new fundraiser for our groups. During lunches students and teachers are voting on teachers that they would like to dress up (a hat) to represent themselves for Either Santa, Mrs. Claus or SCROOGE. It is a penny a vote so very easy to do. Votes may be purchased in the Cafeteria during all Lunches next week so vote to not get your name on the list. We can also have members pick up your votes also. We will be doing daily updates so you may see where you are ranked with in the school. I appreciate your enthusiasm and voting toward each other many times over. 12/9 Moorman
