Hello First Branch Families,
We are seeing an interest in graduation (8th grade) trips as a few parents are stepping forward to see how we can get this going. We are thrilled about the inquiry and happy to support this!
For families new to First Branch, graduating trips are something both schools did in the past. Students worked to fundraise in the years before taking a trip in 8th grade. Last year, First Branch ensured our first graduating class had a trip as they could not fundraise due to Covid-19 impact. The trip was paid for by securing a private grant and utilizing universal social and emotional funding at the SU level.
Please know we are here to help and support these efforts, and no experience is required to get this going. There are countless local ways to get small fundraising going: bake sales, activity nights for younger students, middle school dances, concession stands at sporting events, babysitting nights at school, bottle collections, car washes, community dinners, etc. If you are interested please let us know so we can help share info with others. However, we need families to step up be at the helm of this class by class.
Right now we have a few 7th grade families interested. If this interests you, please let me know so we can start coordinating communication and get the word out. We are also happy to host a evening conversation too.
Have a great weekend! Be well!
Janet Cash
Principal, First Branch Unified District
All Call: We are looking for a pair of first grade skis that may have gone home with the wrong family. Please take a look if your student is enrolled in the ski program.
