We are beginning a fundraiser today with the Great American Fundraising Company. The money we raise for this will go to help offset the costs of field trips (with the higher gas prices), bring in more assemblies, and help to update our sign out front. Many of you have noticed how our sign is beginning to show its age. Hopefully we'll be able to do something about that.
This is NOT a door-to-door sale. It is strictly for familes and friends. The sales run from today, Aug 7-Aug 21st.
1. On Aug 8th turn in a postcard booklet and the company will mail catalogs to your friends and family out of town. They will be able to shop on-line and receive the items from the sale.
2. Have your "customers" to give you their money when they place the order. Orders are turned into homeroom teachers. We'll accept orders through the 21st.
Here's our goal: If everyone sells three items, the company says we'll have $10,000 towards our needs at the school. Whether we meet our goal or not, the school has already been booked for a BMX Bike Show with a member of Tony Hawke's team, Matt Wilhelm on October 30th. Students who sell 10 items will be considered VIPs and be able to have front row seats for the event. Students who sell 15 items will be VIPs and stay after the show to meet Matt and get a free autographed picture.
And if that's not enough incentive, Mrs. Brown will get "jumped" with a BMX bike!
We've not held a fundraiser in many years like this, so we hope that you will help us to achieve our goal for the student events as well as the sign. We do expect raising money for the sign to take 1-2 years to replace it, unless...
Thanks in advance for helping us make Chandler's a great place!
