St. Jude Fundraiser Update
After some weather related delays; the middle school students and facualty finally had the opportunity to attend an assembly to kickoff the Tyle Hanson Fundraiser. This fundraiser is to benefit the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. During the assembly the students viewed a Power Point presentation that spelled out specific fundraiser information and a video created by Tyler Hanson’s dad. The fundraiser information can be found in our previous post and in the packet that was given to the students. The video gave the students a bit of history behind St. Jude and took them through a day with Tyler.
A surprise for the students came at the end of the assembly when they were challanged to raise $20,000.00 dollars as a middle school. If they can reach this goal Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Cusick, Mrs. McFarren, Mrs. Whitaker, and Mrs. Cavanaugh will have their hair cut short (pixie cut). Not to be out done Mr. Matthies, Mr. Mayer, and Mr. Mounce informed students that the grade level which rasies the most pledges would have first choice in shaving one of their heads! This hair cut will be given by the student in each grade level who individually raises the most pledges. The grade level that raises the second most would have the next choice and so on.
The students were encouraged to take a fundraiser packet as the left the assembly and it was exciting to find out that we ran out! More packets are now available in the Middle School Office. Please note that the contracts are due back in the Middle School Office by Wednesday, February 11th. This is a change from the date previously listed on the contract. Any male student not participating in the fundraiser will need a hair cut by this same date, February 11th.
