SJB Auction
WOW! We have set a record with this year’s Auction. After all bills are in we have made over $52,100. What an accomplishment to have done such a feat during these difficult times! Again, thanks to all who helped in anyway or came to support SJB at the Auction.
Scrip Cards
You can still call Lizette Poston (282-4582 or cell 618-901-8360) to order scrip cards. We are again giving everyone an opportunity to win a $10.00 gift card to one of these places: Arby’s, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Subway, or Red Bud IGA. Just place an order this month and your name will be automatically entered into the drawing. The winner decides which $10.00 card to spend! Call Lizette (282-4582 or cell 618-901-8360) or check out the school website and send in your order and money to the school office.
You can order IGA (from $5 - $500) anytime and everything else by Sunday evening. Please DON’T reload the Wal-Mart or IGA cards, but re-order them through Lizette. Congratulations to Chad and Sue Todaro for winning the February $50 scrip card!
