Central juniors are out and about selling raffle tickets for a great set of donated prizes. All proceeds will go directly to their Post Prom Committee as they work to plan a fun, safe night for students after Prom this spring.
If a junior reaches out to you with tickets, thank you for considering supporting their efforts!
Good luck to everyone who enters!

Our kindergarten students wrapped up their Junior Achievement program recently! They learned about saving, spending, and donating money, and explored the difference between wants and needs. Thank you, Danielle Shea, for coming into the classroom and allowing us to visit your office, too! 💰📚
