Ames School is having our first ever BBQ dinner fundraiser on Wednesday October 26, 2016 featuring 5 Bs Catering. We are preparing BBQ platters and delivering them to your vehicle “drive-thru style.” Support our school by taking the night off from cooking. Bring home delicious freshly prepared BBQ platters or stay and eat out with friends and family at the school.

When: Wednesday, October 26, 2016

Please help make this fundraiser a huge success by selling the tickets to your family and friends. If you would like to sell additional tickets, please complete the enclosed ticket request form and return it to the school office. The requested tickets will be delivered to the student’s class within the next two school days. The class that sells the most tickets will win a pizza party!
