$10K Raffle
Our $10K Raffle officially kicks off this week! This is one of our school's largest fundraisers, and we are so thankful for the support of every Crusader.

Tickets are $25 each...and one lucky person will take home $10,000 when the winning ticket is drawn LIVE at the 2023 CRU Bash on Friday, February 17!

Students are asked to sell four (4) tickets each. We know many parents will purchase tickets themselves (and thank you for your support), but please know that we have encouraged students to ask for support from extended family, friends, neighbors, etc.

Tickets can be purchased online @ http://e.givesmart.com/events/t03/page/10k/ (a link will also be available on the front page of our school website @ shdhs.org).

When purchasing tickets, include the name of the student, faculty, or staff member who should receive credit for the sale (if applicable).

And as always...our goal is to sell 2,000 or more tickets in total. If we can meet or beat our goal again this year, our entire school will earn a DAY OFF SCHOOL!

Help us pick the new Crusader Youth League logo.
Voting Poll - We have three logo design options for Crusader Youth League. Please help us choose the winner by voting here: https://forms.gle/V3fp9Pw9tXFKPL1F7. Pick your favorite option that you feel best represents us. Crusader Youth League will initially be focused on launching football for young Crusaders that can continue down the path to St Henry District High School's football program. We plan to launch programs for other sports in the future. This is why the logo is not football themed. Voting ends at midnight Friday, 1/13.
