Johnson announces Hullabaloo fundraiser: class candy drive, bake sale and raffle ahead of Saturday event
Summary
Student announcers at Johnson said Hullabaloo will be this Saturday and urged classes to bring candy (20 bags earns a free game ticket), donate spiritwear and bake-sale items, and buy raffle tickets; staff will hold a faculty meeting and a photographer will capture event activities.
Student announcers at Johnson told classmates on Oct. 8 that the school's Hullabaloo fundraiser will take place Saturday and urged students to bring donations, buy raffle tickets and participate in a bake sale.
At the morning announcements, Miles, a student announcer, said, "Each class that brings in 20 bags of candy will get a free game ticket." The announcers also encouraged donations of old spiritwear and said bake-sale items could be brought in on Thursday and Friday. Raffle tickets were said to be on sale; names of winners were not announced that morning but the announcers said they expected to post winners in the next two days.
The student announcers noted a faculty meeting scheduled for the same day in the school library and said Mr. Wells would be at the school taking photographs of school activities. The announcements also reminded students that they can log reading with Beanstack through ClassLink and recapped last week's elementary vote results for the school's "Would you rather" feature.
Why it matters: Hullabaloo is presented as a near-term school fundraiser and community event and the announcement spelled out specific participation incentives and donation deadlines that affect class activities and planning. The combination of candy drives, a bake sale and a raffle are discrete fundraising streams that the school is using to organize participation.
Details: The announcers gave these specifics: a 20-bag candy threshold for a free game ticket for the donating class; donation drop-off for bake-sale items on Thursday and Friday; a request for old spiritwear donations; raffle tickets available now with winners to be announced in the following two days; and Hullabaloo scheduled for Saturday. The announcements did not specify the exact start time or location for Hullabaloo, the monetary goal of the fundraiser, or the price of raffle tickets.
Context and limits: The statements reported here are from student announcers and school staff comments at the morning announcements. No formal school administration policy, budget allocation or vote was announced during the remarks, and no district approvals or external sponsors were named. The announcers did not provide details on how donated items will be stored or distributed, nor on how proceeds will be used.
Looking ahead: Students and families interested in participating were directed to bring donations before Friday and to check the school's forthcoming announcements for raffle winners and other Hullabaloo details.
