Last call for buying raffle basket tickets to support the Summer Honors Program as the fundraiser ends on Sunday!
The Summer Honors Program (SHP) is an outstanding opportunity for 8th-12th graders in our area. There are 10 Elwood students who have been nominated and may attend this summer. SHP is doing a basket raffle to help fund meals and activities during the two-week summer program to keep tuition costs low for the students. See the link below to bid on the baskets that each school put together.
