School lotto, mini prize boxes for maxi lotto

As every year, AP2EM (Parents’ Association of Montbeton Schools) organized a big school raffle on Sunday 10 March at the Espace Jean Bourdette. Regulars, families and children love to meet at this anticipated and cherished annual event.

It is a unique opportunity to participate in a good deed with a guarantee that the profit will be used to finance educational projects and the purchase of equipment for children in kindergartens and primary schools.

However, if the organization of the lottery does not present any particular difficulties, its success also depends on its consistently high attendance. Its success is also due to the involvement of members of the association and teachers from the proposal to the day of the event. The hunt for attractive prizes from merchants, artisans and parents equals a real “hunt”, but the generosity of donors is confirmed every year. The concept of attractively priced boxes appeals to as many people as possible in a specific economic context. A win-win system that will stand the test of time. The municipality, for its part, rents the room for free and involves a municipal representative.

Among the two culinary specialties, the public appreciated the bar with refreshments and the stall with delicacies. In short, a lovely lively and useful Sunday afternoon.
