The Sophomore Class will be hosting a raffle from now until Friday, Dec. 19th. We will be raffling three "Brr Baskets" of Christmas goodies and treats, and all high school students and staff may enter. The three baskets and their items are listed in the flyer below; pictures of the baskets are soon to come.

Tickets are $2 each or $5 for 3 tickets, and there is no limit on how many tickets you may buy. Mr. Perry and I will be selling tickets in our rooms, and students may buy from me before and after school or during advisory. Write your first and last name on the ticket, as well as which basket you'd like your ticket(s) entered for, if you have a preference. Several sophomores will also be selling tickets during lunch on Mon., the 16th, and Friday, the 19th.

There will be three winners, with one name drawn for each basket during lunch on Monday, Dec. 22nd, and given to the winners that day, or the following day if they are absent. If you have any questions about the raffle, feel free to contact me.

Thank you,
Carolyn Wehmeyer

📚 Yearbook Hunt: Help Us Find 1964! 📚

We need your help, Elsberry Community! We are SO close to completing our historical collection of Elsberry High School Yearbooks! 🤩

We are currently missing just ONE yearbook: the 1964 edition.

We would love to display a copy of the 1964 yearbook in the High School office alongside all the others, but we haven't been able to locate one yet.

Do you, a relative, or a friend have a copy of the 1964 Elsberry High School Yearbook (or know where we might find one) that you would be willing to donate?

If you have a lead, please contact the Elsberry High School Office during business hours!

Let's complete the collection together! Go Indians! 🧡🖤

🦃 Help Us "Sponsor a Bag" for a Turkey Dinner! 🥫
School Pub is launching a big fundraiser to bring a full turkey dinner to families in need this holiday season! We're aiming to sponsor 120 Turkey Dinners in a Bag for our Buddy Bag program families and the local food pantry.

Here's how you can help:

Sponsor a Bag for $10.

The cost of food donation for each bag is approximately $7.

$3 from every sponsorship goes directly to School Pub to help us alleviate our inherited debt.

That's right—you get to provide a complete meal (like the one pictured in the flyer!) and support our students at the same time!

We need 120 sponsors to hit our goal. Sponsor one bag, or sponsor as many as you'd like!

How to Sponsor:
We accept Cash and Checks.

Contact Carolyn Harman at charman@elsberry.k12.mo.us or call 573-898-5554 to arrange your sponsorship!

On October 22, our NHS students were thrilled to receive a $1000 donation check to help with our Operation Backpack buddy bag program from the Kiwanis Club of Troy. Thank you so much for helping us make our school and community a better place!

Dan Anderson, Emil Moore, and Suzzette Sprock all came to watch how our organization distributes food to be sent home with food-insecure families and to present our students with a donation to help out with increasing grocery costs. The Kiwanis club recently held a golf tournament and voted to use the proceeds to benefit Lincoln County school "buddy bag" programs.

Next Friday at Barnwarming, advisors Sarah Ray and Jason Vandivort have asked students attending to bring a canned food item to donate to Operation Backpack as well.
