School Pride Contest 2026
We have our annual school pride contest to see which school can raise the most money and earn their teachers free lunch during teacher appreciation week. The school pride contest runs this year from March 31st – April 6th. Schools will be given a box to decorate from McAlister's or Salsarita's and the "School Pride" box will be displayed on the counters at your local restaurants. We will also send you flyers you can send out to help advertise the event. When families come in from your school, they are to drop their receipt in the box to receive credit for the sales. Parents or staff who order catering can also count towards the contest by putting their catering receipt in the box or letting us know.
