• Junior Parents are selling Little Caesars Pizza Kits to raise money for Dakota Christian School Post Prom Activities! They are convenient and delicious, perfect to have on hand for busy days. You can order by clicking the link here https://fundraising.littlecaesars.com/products?support=429153ae-a9c8-40cf-93c5-4e673a510cdb
It’s easy and only takes a few minutes to order. You can pay by credit card and the yummy Kits will be shipped right to your door by FedEx. It’s the same price to ship 1 or 2 Kits, so I’m thinking you might want to get 2! Thank you so much for your help!
