This year, 469 tickets were sold. This raffle has raised well over $100,000 for Owosso High School Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in the last five years. The funds raised will be used for our six CTE programs: Agriscience, Business, Carpentry, Culinary, Engineering, and Woods. Specifically, the raffle funds help purchase industry-standard equipment and services that prepare CTE students to continue their training or enter the workforce. We also support students and staff with Career, Technology, and Skills Organizations such as Future Farmers of America, Business Professionals of America, SkillsUSA, and Michigan Industrial Technology Education Society. This year, the pontoon raffle funds allowed three Owosso High School students to attend national conferences (two in Georgia and one in Texas), where they learned leadership skills, networked with students from all over the United States, and competed in their respective fields. This fundraiser allows us to give our students outstanding opportunities in and out of the classroom.
Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets!
