Fun For The Owls is Back!
You should have received a pamphlet in your back to school packet. If not, pick one up at the office.
What Is It?: A fundraiser to raise money for enrichment programs, equipment, supplies, STEAM, field trips and so much more for our kids. It's one of our most important fundraisers so we are looking for everyone to get involved.
How Do You Raise Money? You raise money by collecting pledges. Each pledge is the total for a one time donation. Every single pledge from $1 to $1 gazillion helps. Reach out to family, friends, neighbors and your favorite local businesses. As an added bonus, each pledge your child receives doubles as an entry for a prize drawing later this fall. Your pledge sheet with a QR code for online donations is in the packet your student brought home.
What Are The Kids Doing This Year? The kids will be moving through a fun obstacle course on the Vernon playground.
When Is It? Friday, October 4th
