WIS Prepares for “LIMO LUNCHES”

Posted by jgermann on September 20, 2007




My parents used to warn me, “be careful what you ask for!”, and our fall fundraiser was a prime example of that.  We set a goal to sell 600 cards, which would translate to $3000 profit for our building.  We dangled a carrot, offering a hummer limo ride to lunch for any child who sold 10 or more cards, and at 15 cards, they could bring a friend.  Next week, we will be arranging for nearly 190 students to do a limo lunch!  And, we exceeded our sales goal by 400%!  We sold over 2400 cards, with a profit of just over $12,000.  We will be using the funds to purchase a smart board system for our second lab, and a new sound system for the gym and music programs.  We still have cards available, if anyone (can’t imagine who it would be) didn’t get their discount card!  THANKS TO OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY FOR SUCH GREAT SUPPORT!
