Discount Card Fundraiser!

It's time for our 2nd annual Discount Card Fundraiser.  Discount Cards will be distributed to students on Friday, April 11, 2014.  Students will be selling the cards for $10 each.  The money raised will be used for student activities and programs.  

Activities and programs include sports, drama, classroom activities, transportation for field trips and anything that is a direct support to the students at Jefferson. 
Students should not try to sell the cards door-to-door to people they do not know.  We would ask the students to sell these to family, relatives and friends.  Students are not required to participate in this fundraiser. 

The following is a list of prizes that students will have the opportunity to win.  The top three sellers in the school will have the first choice of any prize they would like on the list.  For any student that sells three cards their name will be submitted for a drawing at the end of the fundraiser for all the remaining prizes.  For every card a student sells after three cards their name will be submitted again for the drawings.  So if a student sold 4 cards their name would be submitted twice for the drawings.  If a student would sell 5 cards their name would be submitted three times, and so on.

Prizes
2          Airplane rides over the Dubuque Area
1          Mini I-Pad
1          $400 Bicycle
1          Guitar
1          32” TV
