Club's Choice

***Update*** The limo ride and pizza party have been scheduled and all of the parents of students who earned the party have been contacted.  If you have any questions, please let us know.  Everyone is really excited and looking forward to this fun event!

***Update*** All of the orders have been turned in and it was another great year!  Thanks again for everyone's help.  Remember to pick up your orders in the cafeteria on 9/29 from 3-6.  As soon as we have everything finalized, we'll be contacting the students who earned the limo ride and pizza party.  Check back here for more details.

Club's Choice, which sells frozen foods, snacks and gifts, is our biggest fundraiser of the year.  This year's sale kicked off on Friday, August 21st with a student assembly.  Catalogs and order forms were sent home with students that afternoon. 

*All orders and payments are due back to the school by 9/8/09.   

*Products can be picked up at the school on 9/29/09 from 3-6. 

*If you would like to place your order online, please visit
http://orders.clubs-choice.com/webord/sellertools.wcsx and follow the prompts using contract number 67334.  You can also let friends and family know they can log on to www.clubs-choice.com and click on the "Order Online" link at the top of the page.  Remember to use contract number 67334.    This is a great option for family and friends who live out of town but would still like to support our school.  Products will be delivered directly to their home. 

*There are great prizes for the students this year, including the popular limo ride and pizza party!  This year students only need to sell 25 products to earn this fun event.  If they sell 35 or more items, the student can even bring a sibling or friend from school!  If SES sells more than 3000 items again this year we will have another Airwave Inflatables party.  That's an average of just six products per student!  The kids had a blast last year and we hope to be able to do it again. 

Please let us know if you have any questions.  Thanks for helping make this fundraiser a success!
