Ice Cream Fundraiser

We are happy to announce our Ice Cream Fundraiser is scheduled for June 18th from 5-9 PM at Two Twisted Ladies!

Their policy for fundraisers is one worker with one volunteer, so only three students will be allowed behind the counter at a time. 

However, we can have other volunteers hold signs by the road, wash dishes, and help out with other tasks.

The volunteers behind the counter will be helping take orders, but they will not be able to make ice cream themselves. 

We are hoping to have people for two hour shifts (5-7 PM and 7-9 PM) to help out. Please contact Jacob Gorneau, Brittany Johnson, Chenoa Berg-Cox, Ashley Gifford, or Mrs. Warga if you would like to help out.

Our class will earn $1 for every ice cream sold, so spread the word!
