(Lic. E0004908) PDF
The Gracias-Merci Spring 2010 Raffle was a success! Thanks to all who supported and participated in the raffle. We are in the final planning stages for the Fall Raffle to raise funds for a new playground.
Purpose: Improve education at South Boulevard Elementary, a public school magnet program in which students are taught 60% of their day entirely in the target foreign language. By 3rd grade, students are becoming fluent in either Spanish or French. In 2009, our children made South Boulevard Elementary a 4-star school, with a State Performance Score of 129.4!
How do I get tickets?
All South Boulevard families will be selling tickets. If you don't know a family, you can email gracias-merci-raffle@cox.net to obtain tickets. Each ticket is $20 apiece. Cash or check payable to FLAIM PTO. Sharing the cost of a ticket is permitted.
How much can I possibly win?
Prize structure: 1st($3000); 2nd ($1000); 3rd ($500); and consolation prizes (themed gift baskets donated by local businesses)
When will the winners be selected?
Winners will be selected in a "Draw Down" event at the school, 802 Mayflower Street, Baton Rouge, LA (click address for map) at 5PM on October 15, 2010. Winner need not be present to win; however, if present, holders of the last three tickets to be drawn may choose to split the winnings equally. We will contact the winners, and all winning numbers will be posted on this site.
