SMILIE FUNDRAISER
As a Principal, I have our school participate in one fundraiser for the year. This fundraiser is called,
Original Works. The Art teacher and I collaborate and students create unique pieces of art work. These pieces can be printed up as cards, mouse pads, keychains, note pads and many more momentos. These one of a kind pieces can be given as gifts.
The fundraiser will begin this Friday. Look for the packets in the backpacks of your child(ren). Take a look at all of the gift options.
The deadline for your orders is Friday, November 6, 2015. The money from this fundraiser is used for student scholarships and school-wide activities.
Thank-you in advance for participating if you can.
I want to apologize for running two fundraisers at the same time. The SCA and I are working to spread out these fundraisers next year. Thank-you for your patience.
