UPDATE: You are all amazing! Since almost every grade went above & beyond the $500 goal for the week, Ms Shelton is allowing anyone who registers out of uniform tomorrow! No cost, no obligation to donate, or attend the walk or fire match. It just takes 2 minutes to register! The list of registrants will be provided the school after midnight tonight.

Thanks everyone!
——————-
This Friday will be out of uniform for each grade that can register 30 students to the pledge drive and raise $500 by tomorrow at Midnight! Registration is free so it’s just helping us get the word out!
Upon registering, you will receive a personal fundraising link, share the link with friends, family & neighbors! Any donation will help each grade achieve their goal! And remember once your grade reach the grade goal of $3k, they will have out of uniform every day until the end of the school year!
1st, 5th & 6th grade you are so close to $500, now we just ask you to reach out to some other parents to register their students! We know you all have a google classroom group.
Also, there has been confusion about getting grade credit for ticket purchases. We apologize, but this year we have decided to make some adjustments to ensure accuracy in our fundraising goals. Specifically, we have made the decision to exclude ticket & shirt purchases for the Chicago Fire match from the pledge drive goals and made registration to pledge drive at no charge.
Including ticket & shirt purchases was inadvertently inflating our pledge drive donation totals because there is a cost to the organization for the tickets and shirts. By excluding ticket sales from the pledge drive goal, we aim to provide a more accurate representation of the contributions made solely through the pledge drive. The Chicago Fire match is a fun bonus end to the walk-a-thon but optional. Everyone is welcome to join the pledge drive and walk regardless of ticket purchase.
To compensate for this change and to ensure that our overall fundraising goals remain achievable, we have lowered the pledge drive goals for each grade to $3k. We believe that this adjustment will allow us to maintain momentum and reach our fundraising targets.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we make these adjustments. Our primary goal remains to support our school and provide enriching experiences for our students, and your contributions play a vital role in achieving this mission.
Please register your student soon and share their personal link with family, friends, & neighbors.
If you have any questions or concerns about these changes, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We value your feedback and input as we navigate these adjustments together.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our school community.
