Raffle sales and car wash coming up — Students step up fundraising efforts
Don’t miss out on a chance to win valuable prizes: purchase raffle tickets to benefit the Shelter Island School Classes of 2025 and 2026.
Shelter Island students will be selling raffle tickets at the Farmer’s Market this Saturday and at Sylvester Manor’s CSA pick up. Keep an eye out for kids selling in front of Dandy Liquors and IGA over the next week as well. Students in the 8th and 9th grades are selling tickets for $1 each. All proceeds are going toward their class trip to Disney.
“Our students have missed out on several long-standing fundraising opportunities due to many activities being canceled because of COVID,” said teacher Jennifer Gulluscio. “We are hoping to have a successful raffle fundraiser to try to recoup some of the funds that we were not able to raise during the last year and a half.”
The Class of 2026 is having a car wash on Saturday, July 24, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m, and they will be selling tickets at the car wash, with the drawing to follow later that afternoon.
