It's getting closer to Spring and you know what that means. Easter is right around the corner! Let Maquoketa BPA help out the Easter Bunny this year by delivering filled eggs to your yard the night of Easter Eve (4/4). Orders can be made online at gobound.com under the fundrasing tap from February 27th - March 20th.
Egg Order Options:
$20 for 24 filled eggs
$35 for 40 filled eggs
$5 each per golden egg
Any questions please reach out to BPA Advisor Trisha Manthei at tmanthei@maquoketaschools.org
Due to the late game time and anticipated late return for students, staff, and bus drivers, Maquoketa CSD will operate on a two-hour late start on Tuesday, March 3rd.
To support our team, the district will begin by providing two pep buses for high school students based on student interest. Buses will depart from the high school at 4:40 p.m. on March 2nd. Students must sign up in the high school office by lunchtime on Friday to reserve a seat. High school administrators will notify any students who are not eligible to attend. The buses are only for HS students and not MS students.
The cost of game admission will be covered as part of the trip. Students should bring money for food. Please note that Casey’s Center is a cashless facility, so debit/credit cards or other electronic payment methods will be required for purchases.
We anticipate returning to Maquoketa very late Monday evening. If your student does not have transportation home after we return, please be prepared to pick them up at the high school. All students attending must follow district behavior expectations and adhere to the student handbook while representing Maquoketa on this trip.
We are proud of our student-athletes and look forward to a strong showing of Cardinal support in Des Moines. Go Cardinals!
