By Fallon M and Gemma M Each year our school does a basket draw to raise money.  Each class picks a theme and makes a basket filled with items that students can buy tickets to win. How Did we decide? So first we decided by doing a vote. The choices were playground equipment, books, art supplies, balls and GIFT CARDS! So then  to decide everyone got a sticker and sticked it on what kind of choice they wanted and most of the people picked GIFT CARDS! That's how we decided. What type of Gift Cards did we get? So the types of gift cards we had were Mcdonald's  Starbucks, Tim Hortons, Marshalls, Winners, Booster Juice the mall and more...   What is The Money Is Raised For? So our principal decided to  use the money for play equipment  and he is going to get a sandbox for the younger kids.
