 NDB Parents: Last week, your daughters were each given two ticket books for the NDB raffle held in conjunction with our annual auction. The proceeds of the raffle fund NDB projects and scholarships. Every student should have received their tickets. It is their responsibility to sell a minimum of two books of tickets. Please check with your daughter to make sure she received them and help her fulfill our school's goal by encouraging her to ask family, friends, neighbors and perhaps your colleagues at work to support these efforts. Tickets are $10 a piece or $100 for a book of tickets (12 tickets). The winning tickets will be pulled the night of the auction (you do not need to be present to win). The student who sells the First Place winning ticket will also get a prize. Incentive awards will be given during the next three weeks to all students who turn in ticket sales. Additional tickets can be obtained in the Events / Development Department through Denise Severi or Julie Clemens, or by contacting Ronele McCurdy or Liza Vernazza, Class of 2010 parents and Raffle Committee Co-Chairs. We appreciate your support in helping us make this year's raffle a big success. IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO DONATE...If you would like to donate an item, advertise in the auction catalog or sponsor the auction, click here. Extra Auction Donor Solicitation letters and forms are available on the bench outside of Room 105.
