On October 26th, we will hold our Annual Art Auction with an Understanding Mississippi theme at the Town Creek Pavilion, West Point. The funds raised by this event will support our commitment to providing the highest quality education possible for our students. We ask that you participate by selling raffle tickets, selling event tickets, donating a silent auction item, sponsoring the event, and/or by simply giving your time to help set-up, clean-up, etc. Forms to sponsor the event and donate an auction item went home in brown envelopes on Monday, August, 27th. There is an extra incentive for parents; for every 2 sponsorships you sell, you will receive 2 hours of volunteer credit.  

Your first opportunity to get involved is by selling raffle tickets, which went home in the brown envelopes on August 27th. The first drawing will be held at Beats on the Blacktop, and the prize is a set of Beats by Dre. You must be present to win. The grand prize drawings will take place the night of the Art Auction. Grand Prize #1 is an Apple Watch. Grand Prize #2 is one semester of free tuition for one child. You do not have to be present to win at the Grand Prize drawings. 

Raffle tickets sold prior to September 20th should be turned into the office for the first drawing. Other tickets should be turned into the office by October 24th. The student/family with the most ticket sales will win a $100 gift certificate to the Uniform Company.
