Fundraising:

Your Secret mission, if you choose to accept:

  • Get a teacher to communicate to us that you are doing/behaving well in their class.

  • It must happen organically, you cannot ask them to communicate to us nor you cannot tell them your secret mission.

  • If you are the first three, Mr. Choi will get you a bag of chips of your choice.
