Make sure you're submitting those learning activities Franklin students! What a great giveaway next week for our Summer Learning Adventure participants!!!

Did someone say Bills practice tickets?!?!?! Thanks to a VERY generous donation for our Gr. K-5 Summer Learning Adventures, we have an AMAZING item to give away during next Monday's drawing! Here are the details:

Next Monday, we'll begin our weekly drawing by doing ONE spin from the Summer Learning Adventures submission list for the week of August 3-7. That name will have the chance to claim up to four tickets to the Bills open practice on August 18th at 8:30am at the new Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park (the tickets don't include the $5 parking fee). If the winner doesn't want the tickets - no problem! That winner will then be designated as one of our weekly drawing winners and can choose from one of our other prizes (like a gift card to a local restaurant or a sports-themed t-shirt for school spirit days). If the winner doesn't want the tickets, then we'll do another spin to pick another winner who can claim the tickets that are still up for grabs. We will still pick two weekly winners for our Summer Learning drawing so if you don't win the Bills tickets, you still have the chance to win some other great prizes next Monday!

A reminder that our students can submit their learning activities up to 2x per day Monday-Friday (one ELA and one Math activity) so you can earn up to 10 entries for next week's drawing! Even if you've already won a prize this summer, you can still win each week - it's all up to the wheel!

Again -- we'll do one spin for the tickets and will then do our normal spin for the other prizes that have been generously donated. Good luck to all our students!
