From the desk of Principal Papes

Dear Alto Families,

We are excited to offer a way to give back to Alto Elementary School with our annual fundraiser! Soon, we will kick off an event to help raise funds that will benefit all our students and staff. This program will help with funding Field Trips, Family Events, Special classroom projects & supplies.

Here are a few things to note about our upcoming program:

This program will be extremely easy for you. It only requires about 10 minutes of your time.
Your students can earn great rewards just for their effort. No money is needed!
This is an online, donation-based fundraiser, and the email and text message donation requests can go to people you know anywhere in the world.

Students will bring home more information after our Launch Party presentation on Monday, September 9th. Please help your student register and complete the Golden Ticket assignment that very night! All students who complete the Golden Ticket assignment will receive fun PRIZES the next day. We will also have an awesome Week of WOW drawings, including Gift Cards and prizes. All families that enter at least 10 or more contacts

will also qualify for the Disney Family Vacation drawing that will be awarded nationally!

Sincerely,

Paul Papes, Principal
