The District 99 Education Foundation will hold its 2015 Pizza Wars Competition on Thursday, January 15, 2015 at South High School in Downers Grove from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Attendees will receive one sample from each of the participating pizza providers, including:

· Al’s Pizzeria –Woodridge

· Aurelio’s – Downers Grove

· Giordano’s – Downers Grove

· John & Eddies-Downers Grove

· Papa’s Pizza- Woodridge

· The Pizza Via- Downers Grove

Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. To purchase in advance, please contact the Student Activities Office at North High or South High after January 5, 2015, or send an email topresident@d99ef.org to reserve tickets, which you may pick up at the door.

The proceeds from this event will help fund Learner Grants for the enrichment of District 99 curriculum. Last year the District 99 Education Foundation awarded $24,000 in grants that current tax dollars could not provide to the students of North High and South High.

“Attendees will vote for their favorite pie and we will name a winner of ‘pizza wars,’ but really, the ultimate winners are the students at North High and South High, all of whom will benefit,” says Eric Olson, president of the District 99 Education Foundation. “We thank our sponsors, including the pizzerias, for their generous support.”
