Do you know what's cuter than puppies? Babies of course! Unfortunately though, not all babies are born healthy. Many babies are born prematurely and have significant health issues at the beginning of their lives. March of Dimes is a national organization that raises awareness about pre-mature births and provides help and resources to families with pre-mature babies. Next week you will have the opportunity to participate in the FBLA 50-50 Challenge, where the proceeds raised will benefit both the March of Dimes and yourself! Listen closely...here is how it works...Next week 50-50 challenge tickets will be for sale at both lunches outside the cafeteria. Tickets can be purchased Monday through Thursday and on Friday during the morning announcements one lucky ticket will be drawn and the lucky winner will win 1/2...yes that is 1/2 of all the money that was collected in the 50-50 Challenge! Ticket prices are as follows: 1 ticket for $1 or 6 tickets for $5. If your name is drawn during the Friday, April, 20th morning announcements, then you will receive half the money earned in our fundraiser. That means that if $800 is raised, then whoever wins the drawing will get $400. That's a lot of gas money or even money for PROM! LHS Staff and students, help save babies next week with March of Dimes and Littleton FBLA!
