Parents! We had an amazing year of fundraising to support things like grade level field trips, Binder Buddies, Global Interns, year end party and more. Through your outstanding support, we are able to offer these great programs to
every
student. As we look to next year's efforts, it takes many hands and contributions to ensure fundraising yields to solid results.
If you have any gift cards lying around, please bring them to conferences. Think local establishments in the $5 - $15 range that are kid appropriate (Caribou, local restaurants, Target, etc). We use these as daily prizes during Spirit Week in September with the goal of handing out approximately 25 prizes each day.
If you have any leftover unopened holiday gifts that would make good prizes, we're happy to take those as well. The more you share, the less we have to buy/solicit.
Look for a bin at conferences February 20 and February 27. Questions? Contact Julie Yakes 612-210-5196 or
[email protected]
Thanks!
