Annual Winter Basket Raffle Goes Virtual

St. Joseph School in Baltic is not letting the COVID-19 restrictions stand in the way of their major annual Christmas Extravaganza fundraiser. A number of themed baskets are up for grabs, assembled by classrooms and families.

The Winter Basket Raffle can be found at https://go.rallyup.com/b82c37/Campaign.

Winners will be drawn automatically on Saturday, January 30th, with notifications to follow.

All proceeds from this raffle will go directly to the school, specifically to each classroom, to purchase upgraded computer and technology systems and software tools for enhanced learning, to update the security systems for the safety of the students and staff, and for classroom pizza parties to bring a little fun back into school.

St. Joseph School in Baltic is a small pre-k through 8th-grade parochial school that educates and prepares children for high school and life by providing an excellent academic curriculum; a true spirit of charity, kindness, and acceptance; Gospel values; all within a fun, family environment.
