Clay Elementary Limo Ride 2017
Clay Elementary sold almost $30,000 in cookie dough this year. Our school keeps a percentage of the money for materials, supplies, field trips, AR, and other endeavors throughout the year.
Students selling more than twenty (20) items get to ride in a Limo and have a pizza lunch. Students selling more than thirty (30) items get to ride in a Limo, invite a friend, and have a pizza lunch.
Our top seller was Adrionna Dunton, who sold 75 items. She won a $100 gift card to Wal-Mart. Students turning in money on time got their name put into a drawing to win a $25 Wal-Mart gift card. That winner was Lynsey Loop.
Congratulations to all who sold cookie dough and thanks for your great effort!
