  • Individual prizes for students who collect donations include:

The Chrysler Welcome Tent will be next to the high school track from 10:00am-1:00pm.  This will be a no-sales-pressure environment!  Bring friends and family because the classroom that gets the most test drivers will win a cookie and milk party with Mr. Scogg!
