Each year our Meiklejohn teachers generously donate their time to provide unique, small group experiences that your children can “bid” on. This fundraiser allows students to spend more time with a favorite teacher, doing an activity that they really enjoy, and raises needed funds for staff appreciation activities and classroom budgets.

Tickets will be on sale from Thursday, September 24th to Friday, October 16th. The drawing will be held and announced on October 22nd.
Every student will get one FREE ticket, which will go into their teacher's event offering. Additional tickets may be purchased for $1 each by ordering online (Order Tickets Now). You can pay with a credit/debit card, echeck, check or cash. If paying by check or cash, please print out and include your online order confirmation with your payment and drop off at the front desk.
The more tickets you buy, the better chance you have of winning one of the awesome experiences! If you joined the PTA at the Pride Membership level, you get an additional 25 free tickets to put towards any offering. We will email you instructions on redeeming your free tickets!
Our goal this year is to raise $7,000 to fund classroom supplies and staff appreciation events throughout the year.
