Bluff Dale ISD issued the following announcement.
What is the Battle of the Axe?
Battle of the Axe is a fundraising basketball game that was originally formed as a game between the Tolar VFD and the Bluff Dale VFD. Over the years, this event has evolved into a game between students and staff/community members.
In addition to the game, additional fundraising events have been added to help support the student activities for Bluff Dale ISD. These activities include 8th grade trip, 12th grade trip, athletic supplies, and FFA shop/barn needs. In addition, we have invited the Bobcat Booster Club to be a part of this event. If you have a student in these grades/clubs, we would love
to have as much participation as possible; however, participation is OPTIONAL. Additional fundraising events are described below. 8th Grade Fundraiser. The 8th grade will be hosting a Cinderfella event just before the Battle of the Axe, on February 28th, 2020.
The event will start just before the game begins at 6:30 pm. Participation is OPTIONAL! In a typical Cinderfella event, the boys dress up in princess outfits, as the girls, who are dressed like boys, help auction them off. Parents and guests have an opportunity to bid on the kids to do typical household chores to raise money for the class. 8th grade has more girls than boys, and some of the parents suggested auctioning the boys off as a group of 3, and then having the girls pair off as they would like, and dress as they would like, and offer babysitting services, or gardening, to help raise money for the class. The audience for the Battle of the Axe will get the chance to bid, and their sponsors will help auction them off. The students are so close to reaching their goal. Only a few hundred dollars is needed to complete the fundraising needed for them to have an amazing 8th grade trip and continue a cherished Bluff Dale tradition.
12th Grade Fundraiser
The 12th grade will be hosting the Tortilla Toss. This event will take place during the 1st quarter break of the game.
Participants will pay a $5 fee per tortilla. The goal is to toss a tortilla into a trash can for a split of the funds raised. 12th graders will get to keep half of the money pot; and if there is a lucky winner(s), they will split the remaining half.
These students are also very close to meeting their goal. We are hopeful that this event; along with their ongoing recycling event, will be enough to reach their goal. Bobcat Booster Club The Bobcat booster club will be hosting a baked-goods auction during the 3rd quarter break of the game.
The Booster club is asking for donated baked goods, which can be dropped off at the secondary office the day before, OR anytime up to the start of the event on the 28th
.Please plan to bring your sweet tooth on the 28th! Concession Stand
The Athletics and Ag departments will be hosting the concession stand. Dinner items such as sausage
wraps, walking tacos, and grilled hot dogs will be offered.
Please bring your appetites!
If your child would like to participate, please let Chris Murphy know at cmurphy@bdisd.net, as she is
helping schedule the different events of the evening.
Let’s all laugh and have a wonderful evening supporting our kids!
