1) Submit your idea in writing, to Mr. Palmer. Your idea must contain name, the date of submission, and what you think will be an effective fund raising idea.
2) The Deadline for submission is Thursday, February 12th.
3) A panel of 2 students and 2 teachers will judge submitted ideas at lunch on Friday, February 13th. In the event that two students submit the same winning idea, the idea that was submitted first will be declared the winner.
4) In the event of a tie, Mr. Palmer will cast the tiebreaking vote.
5) In the fundraising idea involves another person (for example, making Mr. Bara shave his moustache) you MUST have obtained that person’s agreement to participate. Good Luck! (PALMER)
