MMS 6th Grade Butter Braid Fundraiser is Active!
Our 6th graders are raising funds for their trip to Camp Thunderbird in February, and we need your help! The fundraiser kicked off on November 11th and the last day to sell is Tuesday, December 3rd. Every item sold contributes $6.20 toward the student's trip costs.
Emails were sent to all 6th grade students' email accounts, so they can share their unique store link with friends and family! If you want to support a specific 6th grader, just ask them for their link or you can find their name on our store dashboard.
Don't know any 6th graders but love butter braids? You can place your order under MMS, and those funds will help provide scholarships for the field trip.
Important Dates:
- Fundraiser dates: November 11th - December 3rd
- Delivery: December 19th, pick up at MMS front office
Thank you for your support in making this field trip a reality!
