SCA Candy Gram Sales

SCA’s biggest fundraiser is BACK and for a good cause! 50% of our proceeds will go to the Australian Red Cross to help aide with the wildfire destruction. The other 50% will go towards SCA’s end-of-year gift to Island Creek. Students can purchase a candy gram for $0.50 from 8:15-8:30 from Feb. 3-11. This is a fundraiser where students can show their love and appreciation for one another and their teachers. They can purchase a note and write a message, then stick it in the appropriate class box, which will be located in the lobby. Forms must be filled out completely. This will help us know exactly who is to receive the candy gram. Once the note has been placed in the box the SCA will attach a piece of candy and deliver the grams on Valentine’s day.
