MVHS juniors selling cookie dough to raise funds

Talk about it

The Junior Class of Mount Vernon High School is selling cookie dough to raise money for the prom. The dough is pre-portioned and comes in a box.

There are six different varieties. Each box contains 48 cookies and sells for $16. The cookie dough campaign will end Jan. 4 with delivery the week of Jan. 21.

If you would like to order any cookie dough and have not been approached by a junior, you may contact the school at 236-5237 and ask for Ms. Beach. Thank you in advance for your participation.
