Enroll today, win tomorrow: SDoL enrollment raffle open through July 31 | Win Hersheypark tickets

As we gear up for the 2025-26 school year, we’re inviting families to enroll now and enter for a chance to win an unforgettable summer experience! Here’s how it works:

From kindergarten through 12th grade, all new students enrolled in SDoL by July 31 will be entered into a raffle to win four (4) general admission tickets to Hersheypark! It’s our way of welcoming your family to ours and helping you enjoy a full day of fun and sweet memories with your family until the end of the year!

If you completed enrollment before today’s announcement, you’ll be entered into a separate raffle just for being early birds and as a thank you for planning ahead.

That means we’ll be selecting TWO winning families in total:

    • One from early birds
    • One from those who register between now and July 31.

If you’re just getting started or already crossed it off your to-do list, you’re eligible to win just be sure your child is fully enrolled with SDoL before Thursday, July 31! Winning families will be notified directly and announced on social media.

Whether you’re new to the district, transferring from another school, or just beginning your school journey, your family is part of what makes SDoL a diverse place to learn and grow.

Help us spread the word to other families in Lancaster who are ready to enroll and be part of something special. Every student deserves the chance to thrive and every family deserves a shot at Hersheypark fun!
