(11/12) Wagonwheel Fundraiser
On 11/26 and 11/27 the Wagon Wheel is partnering with the SPS Athletic Association to help us raise funds supporting SPS Athletics. On both days if you present a digital or paper copy of the coupon attached to this email to your server, the Wagon Wheel will donate 20% of your bill back to the SPS Athletic Association. This applies to dine in or carry out orders. 50/50 tickets will also be sold at the Wagon Wheel both evenings. Please join us on Monday 11/26 and 11/27 to support this great cause.
Also please pass along this message to others you know who would like to join us. This would help us market the event. You can make copies of this coupon if you wish. Additional hard copies of the coupons are also available at the school office.
Lastly, we need a small group of volunteers to help with the event. Click here to sign up.
Note: On 11/27 our boys basketball team has a home game (varsity begins at 7:30). All are encouraged to attend the game and come join us after the game at the Wheel to support our team and this event.
