The New Date for Donuts w/Grownups will be April 4th. Mark your calendars.
Major Saver Update: IF school is in session tomorrow, Friday, February 21st, we will kick off our Major Saver collections. IF school is in session tomorrow, it would also be the first bonus day! For every card your student sells, they will receive a Fraiser Hard at Work keychain. Additionally, because of the recent snow days, students who sell at least 2 cards will also earn bonus stretchy noodles.
On Monday, students will have another opportunity to earn the bonus splat Axolotl ball by selling at least 3 new cards.
IF school is not in session tomorrow, we will notify you of the new timeline. Stay Tuned!
