To contribute to the cook-off that evening, the Gem Prep Student Body wants to host their first bake sale fundraiser! The Student Body will be solely responsible for the planning, coordination, and execution of the bake sale, and they are so excited to become their own part of the Gem Prep community. They have been listening to what their fellow schoolmates have been asking for, and used that to determine what the fundraising money will go to! The PTO is ecstatic to work with the student body and we will be donating a raffle basket, full of awesome Gem Prep goodies, to help in their fundraising. Raffle tickets will be available to purchase through the PTO at the doors.

Note: If you wish to purchase tickets in advance, or are unable to attend and would like to, please contact the PTO at [email protected].

The PTO will be providing cornbread, chips/salsa, and drinks. If you are unable to bring chili but would like to donate one of the following food or drink items to this event, you will receive a raffle ticket for each item donated.

Students will be able to purchase the candy without a message during lunch recesses on February 12th & 13th.
