MARKET DAY - Please make sure you take a look at the new Market Day order form enclosed.  FREE Mandarin Citrus Blend veggies and FREE Ground Beef options available!!  Also, three NEW sandwich possibilities….cheeseburgers, chicken and BBQ Pork!!  Get your Halloween Pumpkin shape cookies too!  Remember, and this is NEW this year with our Market Day…..the more we buy, the higher our percentage of profit back to the school.  It is an easy way to raise money for our Technology Lab.  We thank you in advance for your support of Market Day….a delicious way to support TECHNOLOGY!  Last month $275 was raised for our technology lab.  This is with just a small amount of orders and we still made $275 in one month.  This is a minimum of $3,000 a year.  Think what we can do if we bring the numbers up each month! 

The winner of the drawing was LORI HOLTSCHLAG.  She will receive $15 off her next month’s order.
