Save Mr. James

Goddard Middle School Staff and Families, 

WE NEED YOUR HELP!  Today is the best day to purchase your Ticket-to-Ride raffle tickets to help us "Save Mr. James," from getting a pie in the face tonight at the GMS v. EMS Football Game. We are also utilizing this fundraising opportunity to train and support our school's new Therapy Dog, Lucy! 

Raffle tickets can be purchased, 1 for $25, or a 5-pack for $100, and the winner may choose from a NEW Chevy Blazer EV ($50,470 MSRP), $35,000 toward the purchase of a vehicle at a Don Hattan Dealership, or $25,000 cash. For the official rules and to purchase tickets, please visit 


The middle school with the most tickets sold between August 19, 2024, and by half-time of the 8th-grade football game TONIGHT, Thursday, September 12th, will be deemed the winner. $10 from each ticket will be designated to the school of choice, and 100% of the proceeds will support our #265Family. The school with the most Ticket-to-Ride raffle tickets sold by the start of half-time of the 8th-grade football game will win FREE ICE CREAM for the entire student body of their school at a later date, AND the winning Athletic Director will put a pie in the face of the opposing Athletic Director during half-time of the 8th-grade football game.

As of this morning, we have sold 54 Ticket-to-Ride Raffle Tickets. 


We encourage families to attend the upcoming 'Roar on 54' middle school football game between GMS and EMS TONIGHT, September 12th, 2024 (7th Grade starts at 4:30 p.m., and 8th Grade starts at 6:00 p.m.) at Challenger Intermediate School. Each student who attends the football game and 'checks in' at the Goddard Education Foundation & Lange Real Estate booth will earn a chance to win one of four $25 gift cards. The gift card drawings will be announced at half-time of the 8th Grade football game. The student MUST be present at half-time to win.


We hope you will join us on this journey to educate all students for lifelong success!  Good luck!
