WORLD’S FINEST CHOCOLATE FUNDRAISER

The M100 will be selling the “World’s Finest Chocolate” as a fundraiser this year! Students will receive a box of chocolate by turning in a signed fundraiser permission slip, which can be found by clicking HERE. Each box contains $60 worth of chocolate, and we cannot accept any partial boxes of chocolate back, meaning that the entire box must be sold or the student is responsible for paying the $60 back. Please click the previous link for more specific information. Let’s see how much chocolate we can sell!


The last day of the fundraiser is this Thursday, January 25! SELL SELL SELL!
