Ashler Griffith was elected by his 2nd-grade classmates in Mrs. Paradoski's class to be their class representative for the upcoming Coronation event at Robinson ISD. This is a special honor, as it means his friends chose him to represent them! To participate in the Coronation event, Ashler needs to sell at least $500 worth of raffle tickets—just like every other student taking part.

Raffle ticket sales for Coronation begin Friday, January 24th at 7 am and run through Friday, February 7th at 6:59 PM CST. This fundraiser helps support teachers and students through grants, and it’s the only way for students to become eligible for the Coronation event.

Each student must sell at least $500 in raffle tickets to be able to walk on stage at the Coronation. Donations to REF won’t count toward eligibility, though they’re always appreciated!

To make sure Ashler's raffle sales count toward his participation, he must use this special link when making his sales.

Some of the exciting raffle prizes include a 2-night Kalahari stay, Blackstone grill, $100 Amazon gift cards, Kendra Scott jewelry, and more. Raffle winners will be announced on Saturday, February 22nd at 2 pm during the Coronation, but you don’t need to be present to win.
