Get Ready for a Lunchtime Surprise!
Students, each week we’ll be hiding a Surprise Ticket on ONE lucky tray! It might be taped under your tray... it might be hiding inside your chicken nuggets... you never know where it will pop up!
What can you win?
A FREE Fun Ice Cream Treat
OR
The ultimate prize… our VIPizza Table!
You and 1 friend will feast on ½ a Big Daddy Pizza, veggies, fruit/juice, milk, and cookies!
So keep your eyes open every time you grab your tray—because YOU might be our next Lucky Winner!
Now the boring part, the rules and guidelines..........
~Once you are at your seat, if you find the lucky ticket, please raise your hand and let one of the adults know you have the ticket. They will let us know. We will get your name and take a picture of you with your winning ticket.
~A ticket will be placed each week. A different grade will be picked each week. We want everyone to have the chance to win.
~The ticket will be for a free ice cream. We also have Otis Spunkmeyer cookies if there is an allergy concern for the ice cream. If cookies are chosen, the winner will be given their cookies the next day at lunch.
~Once a month the ticket will be for the VIPizza prize. That week will not have the ice cream ticket. The prize will be served to the winning student and friend on Friday.
~If a student is caught rummaging through the trays or food on the serving line looking for a ticket before they choose a tray or food item, they will be tapped on the shoulder by one of the Cafeteria Crew and will be disqualified for the day. Students should only be touching the items they are taking. Nobody wants a tray or a serving of chicken nuggets that 10 other students touched trying to find a ticket.
Three students will be randomly selected each week for a prize if they’ve completed their agendas all week. Students will be called to the office over the intercom at random times throughout the week. If your name is called, come to the office with your agenda. If your agenda has been completed all week, including with a goal written at the beginning of the week, you will receive a swag bag full of great prizes. Good luck!
