Fun Way to Participate:
Students at SH can earn a Jeans Day and Students at SMGS can earn a Dress Down Day on Thursday, March 12 if their FAMILY makes a $10 donation to Match Madness.
To participate:
---Bring a $10 check to school by Wednesday, March 11 (We cannot collect cash for this.)
---Make checks payable to Greater Salina Community Foundation
---Include the school’s name in the memo line.
---If either school can have The Most Donors or Most Improved # of Donors, the school will receive a $750 prize...potentially $1500 if we win both!

Students have been researching notable historical Kansans from government, sports, arts, and other fields. They will portray these individuals in costume and present short oral reports bringing Kansas history to life in an engaging and educational way.
Families and friends are warmly invited to attend and support our students as they showcase their hard work and creativity. We look forward to seeing you there!
