If each class meets the minimum requirements (60 tickets per class or about 2 tickets per student), we will have an alternative class option on Friday. All tickets must be turned in by your class period on Thursday. Collected tickets from classes that do not meet the minimum requirement, will not be returned!!

Thank you
