Montcalm High School Junior and Parents,
The homeroom teachers sent students home with calendar fundraisers for prom. It works by picking a day, then donating that amount (example Dec. 5th = $5). If everyone participates, it would be greatly appreciated and we would already have a surplus for prom.
Doing this fundraiser can also earn you a discount for prom:
-$150 raised = $10 off prom ($50 a ticket)
-$300 raised = $20 off prom ($40 a ticket)
If you need another copy, ask your homeroom teacher or Chase Gilbert.
Also, we still have beef sticks if you wish to sell those to help out. $2 per beef stick.
The winter dance on December 5th, also help towards prom. Tickets will be only $5 for the dance.
Softball and basketball concessions will also go towards prom. Parents can donate chips, water, Gatorade, etc. or provide help if they would like.
Juniors! Support Your Class!!!
