Thanks for the gift card! I have heard from several people the interest in having the monies spent on prizes to be donated as cash for the food drive instead of giving prizes….just a thought.
Thanks for the suggestion! This one has come up in the past so thanks for giving us another opportunity to address it. Actually, many (if not most) of our administrators who donate gift cards also donate funds to the food drive, too! We have a pretty generous group of folks here at AEA 267.
