Hip Hip Hooray, today is SRK raffle day!!!  Students, remind your advisory teacher it’s raffle day. If you want to play the raffle, make sure your name and the name of the adult who gave you the ticket are on the back.  Put tickets in at the beginning of the month for the most chances to win.  Students can also save their tickets for the ticket trade-in.  Once a month, students can trade in 10 tickets for 1 credit at the SRK Reward Store. Remember, SRK is the Abington Middle School WAY!!
