PERMISSION SLIP

INFORMATION SHEET

Hello Senior Families!

*Packets will be going home with your student(s) early next week*

Gala 2025 preparations are well underway. Over the next few months, our tireless committees will continue to plan and deliver a safe, fun, and very memorable night for the graduates. Gala will begin shortly after the graduation ceremony on Friday, June 20th and it will end at 3am.

• IMPORTANT: If you think that you are not receiving Gala-related emails, please reach out to rgpa@ramsey.k12.nj.us so we can add your contact info to our distribution list.

The ticket cost of $300 per graduate is lower than in recent years. The funds will be used to provide six hours of nonstop entertainment, food, favors, and prizes, as well as personalized congratulatory yard signs for 200 graduates. In an effort to help offset the cost of your Gala ticket, each senior is receiving THIRTY (30) raffle tickets. The raffle prizes are valuable gift cards that can be redeemed at specific stores and restaurants throughout the Ramsey community.

The raffle works like this: you sell up to 30 raffle tickets for $10 each and provide clear and complete contact information on every stub. The drawing will take place in Ramsey High School on Friday, April 4th at 3:00 pm. Every winning ticket will be placed back into the ticket pool to be eligible for the remainder of the prizes. Each ticket has FORTY chances to win. Winners will be notified by email and on social media. Prizes will be delivered by hand or USPS.

The raffle tickets will be distributed to all seniors in school next week. You have until the March 24th deadline to sell and return ALL of the stubs with your permission slip and a check for $300 payable to Ramsey Gala in Parent Association (RGPA) to the collection bin in the RHS Main Office.

Really important items to remember:

• Your 30 ticket stubs are due on or before March 24, 2025.

• $300 payment is due on or before March 24, 2025.

• Signed permission slip is due on or before March 24, 2025.

• Print your senior’s name on the memo line of your check.

• Lost or damaged raffle tickets cannot be replaced.

Selling these raffle tickets is your choice. If you prefer to pay $300 without selling the tickets, we strongly encourage you to put your own name and contact information on each of your tickets and submit them to the drawing. Afterall, you’ve got to be in it to win it!
