The Direct Drive is Lawton’s biggest fundraiser of the year and kicks off today! Funds raised ensure that all kids and families in our school community are able to continue to grow and learn together. Your support is critical to continue to fund programs and essential needs, including arts and science programs, technology licenses, and recess & lunch monitoring staff – all things that are not fully funded by the district.
This year’s ask is $450 per child. To see a more in-depth break-down of where the funds go, and why we ask for your support, you can learn more on the Direct Drive website.
We understand that this is a big ask, and if you are unable to participate financially, we ask that you still get involved in the Direct Drive by choosing “Participate Only” on the fundraising website to register support for your child’s classroom and be entered in our weekly raffles.
Class Prizes
We have a goal of 100% participation this year and there are great incentives for kids and adults! Each class to reach 100% participation will receive a small individual prize and an extra recess, plus the first 2 classes to reach this goal will have a popsicle party!
Participation Prizes
We also have a great collection of prizes to be awarded through our weekly Direct Drive raffle, courtesy of some of the wonderful businesses in our community! You will be automatically entered into the raffle when you step through the Participate Now flow on the Direct Drive site (financial contribution not required).
Special Award Categories
Participate early for a chance to win some of our biggest prizes – we have special drawings for our first 50 participants, followed by our first 100 participants. Raffles for prizes are cumulative, so the earlier you participate the better your chances of winning!
Prizes this year include, but are not limited to:
- SubPop Records gift box set (including Mudhoney, Father John Misty, and Fleet Foxes vinyl collectibles)
- Pagliacci Pizza gift card
- 4 tickets to Woodland Park Zoo
- A book & gift card from Magnolia Bookstore
