Each year the Middle School and Ruth Fox folks combine efforts to put on the districts biggest fund raising event: The Old Fashioned Family Christmas. This year the weather provided a snowy scene as volunteers and patrons came out to support the Space Camp Scholarship Program. Each year students in grades 5-8 are able to apply for a NASA Space Camp experience sponsored by NBAS. It is truly a once in a lifetime experience to travel to Huntsville, Alabama for a week long NASA Space Camp program! Missions, sights, speakers, activities, and hands on learning make this an honor to receive such an opportunity for sure! As guests piled in the building they were greeted by excited staff directing them to the various areas of interest: craft room, "free" room, and the RAFFLE ROOM! This year there was a record 41 gift baskets and prizes on hand for winning! Over 7000 $1.00 raffle tickets were sold!! In addition to the great prizes on the $1.00 raffle circuit, there were many exciting prizes to be had within the .25 cent raffle area. The food was AMAZING and so was the service. 50/50 raffles took place, and a special thanks to those who donated their winnings back to the program! We appreciate your support!
