DC PRIZE CALENDAR FUNDRAISER!

• The annual Washington DC trip Prize Calendar Fundraiser information was reviewed with all 8th graders at yesterday's 8th Grade Monthly Meeting (10/21/2026).  Students had the opportunity to take the fundraiser packets with them when they left the meeting yesterday.  Contained in each packet is the fundraiser info sheet and 10 copies of the calendar to get them started. 

• If students need more calendars to sell, they are welcome to either make photocopies of the ones they were given (they are NOT individually numbers, so photocopies are fine), or they can grab additional packets in the NMS Main Office.  I am also attaching a photo of this year's calendar and info sheet to this post. 

• Money and sales slips are due back to the NMS Main Office by Fri., Nov 20th, to give us time to prepare the slips before we start the daily drawings on December 1st, HOWEVER, we will accept them as late as Monday, November 30th, to allow students to sell them over the Thanksgiving break.  The absolute last day they will be accepted is Monday, Nov. 30th. 

• Students CANNOT bring cash into the school for their calendar sales!  Parents are asked to collect any cash obtained from the calendar sales and either write a personal check for the total amount, or send the money in via a bank cashier's check.  NO CASH WILL BE ACCEPTED.

• DC travelers selling calendars will have the full $10 for each calendar sold reduced from their overall balance of the trip.  If families have paid for a trip in-full already, the money raised will be sent in to school and accounted for, and then the amount that was pre-paid will be refunded to the parents/guardians of the student via a check from the school.

• Non DC-traveling students can also sell calendars, and their profits will be put aside for use in funding field trips and/or activities for the students staying behind while the group is in DC.

• Many questions families may have will be answered on the trip info sheet below.
