Another Fundraiser!

The kids in the 4th-6th grade class are doing great, participating in their challenge to raise money for Christmas Child Shoe Boxes.  We had a fundraiser last weekend at Shipwreck Day,
and the kids now have $167!

The next fundraiser is this weekend, Friday and Saturday, from 8 am - 2 pm at the church, in the youth room.  The kids will be selling popcorn and lemonade, as well as the leftover kid-made items from last weekend.

Again, all 4th-6th grade kids as well as those moving up into 7th grade are welcome to attend, to help their teams and earn prize points for raising Christmas Child Shoe Box money.

If your kid(s) are able to attend, please let me know as soon as you can.

Thank you!

Fundraiser Event for Shoeboxes!

NOTE:  These fundraisers are also open for the kids who JUST moved up into soon-to-be 7th graders.  I would love it if they want to participate, as they can still earn team/individual prize points, and it's great to have them be part of these projects!! 

It's time again to raise money for Christmas Child Shoe Boxes!


Last year the "Green Room" (4th-6th grade kids) raised enough money to pack 80 shoe boxes!  We will have a booth at Shipwreck day again this year, on Saturday, July 18th from 8-4.  I sent the kids home with sign-up sheets, which I encourage them (and parents) to fill out and return to either myself or Dick Murray.  Or, parents can message me on Facebook or email me and let me know what time slots their kids would like to take to participate.  They can stay for an hour, three hours, or all day if they want to!  Anything is fine with me.

They will be earning participation points for their team for coming to help, and prize points for themselves, as well as making people aware of the Shoebox Project and drumming up donations.  Also, anything kids want to bring that they've made (bracelets, duct tape wallets, any little things) will be great to add to our small collection of things people can "buy" for making a donation.

We will probably make lemonade to sell by the cup as well, which is what we will be doing the FOLLOWING  FRIDAY and SATURDAY at our second fundraiser - the church garage sale.  So, they can sign up to do that as well.  I will not be at kids church on Sunday, the 12th, but Dick Murray will be heading up our class, so he will be able to take permission slips (if your kids want to be there for the garage sale, just go ahead and write a note on the slip somewhere, and I will let you know specific hours).

Thank you!  Also, I will be out of town Monday the 13th thru Thursday the 16th, but feel free to message me, text me, or email me, and I will write your kids name(s) on my fundraiser participation sheets.

Thanks again!  I hope you are all enjoying the summer!  See you soon!
