The DH Conley PTSA is having their annual BBQ/Fried Chicken Fundraiser. The BBQ will be on Feb. 11, the night of the Conley/South Central basketball game. We would like to make tickets available to South Central's fans if they are interested.
The meal includes BBQ & Fried Chicken, Potatoes, Green Beans, Hushpuppies and Sweet Tea. Plates can be picked up between 4:00 and 6:30. They can be eaten in the cafeteria or taken out. The tickets are $7.00 each and can be purchased in the office at Conley everyday before 1:30. We will be ordering extra meals that can be purchased that night but would prefer tickets to be pre-purchased. Money raised from this fundraiser will be used to supplement teachers classroom budgets. If anyone has any questions they can contact me at valjb3ta@embarqmail.com.
Thank you.
