It's HUSKY HUSTLE Season!

The 4th edition of the "Hustle Report" came out last Friday - 90 seconds of all the news you need! 

CURRENT CONTESTS:

We pulled the class stats on Wednesday, April 9th at 10 AM and recorded totals. We'll pull totals again THIS Wednesday at 10 AM. The THREE classes that made the BIGGEST PERCENTAGE  jump in fundraising will win a prize from Eggs Time for everyone in the class! 

 

EVERY student who has sent 15 or more "easy emails" gets entered into a drawing to "spin the prize wheel" at our Friday Pep Rally! 

Charms Deliveries

We pull the prize report every MONDAY at 10 AM - and make charms deliveries during the week to each class. 

Please note that if you turned in cash today - it will credit by NEXT week's charm deliveries!

  • Set up your fundraising site and send 10 "easy emails" through MyBooster - earn a PAW charm! 
  • Raise $25 - earn a PAW charm
  • Raise $100 - earn a HUSKY charm
  • SO MUCH MORE... find the full list on our Hustle Page

Marketplace Receipts - THE PODIUM CALLS!

Only 3 more weeks of this silliness. We can DO IT! 

Keep saving those receipts to turn them in at the front office or enter them online!*  

If you plan to turn in receipts in the office - please get them in no later than April 23rd - we need time for our volunteers to enter them before the program closes on the 30th! 

Here's a few things you might have forgotten that count toward Earn & Learn: (check back weekly for reminders and to see how long I can keep this up)

  • Dick's Sporting Goods - for new run shoes for the Hustle!  
  • Taco Bell. Your late night craving secret is safe with me. 
  • Thirty-Four Bar and Bistro. Wait... there's a bar... inside Mathis Home? This is a thing? 

Receipts from EVERY store/service in the Marketplace counts! We're aiming to the be the TOP school in TUSD - let's win this thing! 

*If you enter them online yourself, please DON'T also turn them in... we don't want to double-enter. Need to save your original receipt? You can give us a copy to enter!
