The IB Parent Board gladly re-links your card to #5614 in order to maintain your support for the IB Program at MPHS. The HT Together in Education Program is tied to the purchase of HT brand products; each VIC card link amounts to an approximate donation of $8 per year, those funds are support IB teacher and classroom needs.

Gold Out KICKBALL Game
On September 14, 2018, Dream Team is hosting a Gold Out KICKBALL game to support Pediatric Cancer Awareness with the Prayers for Elijah Foundation. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the United States, more than all other diseases combined - yet less than 4% of public cancer funding is dedicated to pediatrics. Prayers for Elijah is a nonprofit organization and was initially founded by Elijah Aschbrenner's mother to help increase her young son's odds in his fight. They have grown their mission and are dedicated to further research and support treatment options for pediatric cancer patients in Elijah's memory.
The kickball tournament will take place during fourth block on the 14th and all students who have purchased a wristband at one of the lunches (sold from 9/6-9/14) will be allowed to come enjoy the game. There will be Sunset Slush, King of Pops, Krispy Kreme, and many more treats for sale. Bring your money to the event and enter a raffle to win free Chick fil A for a year! There will be plenty of games and prizes for everyone. Wear your best gold outfit to win a costume contest, judged by Elijah's little brother, Sam. You will not want to miss this event! Come out and help bring awareness for pediatric cancer and help us cure child cancer.
Sincerely,
Myers Park Dream Team
