99 Pledges! This Fundraiser is going to be open from June 15th to December 15th, 2023. We are going to set up a donation page for each student in 8th grade using a parent email. Fill out the following link: bit.ly/WashingtonDCfunds with the email you would like us to use for a page to be created for your child. Ms Nodelman will be setting up new accounts each Friday over the summer and will email you as soon as the page is created then your child can start fundraising! The Fundraising links will be closed on December 15, 2023. 

The students will be able to customize their page and share the link with family, friends, churches, businesses and community organizations. The students can also use this link for payments for small tasks in the neighborhood - like mowing the lawn, babysitting, etc. Each student is eligible to raise their entire trip fee with this website!  Companies and businesses can go to the school page and donate to the school account to be used as scholarships to be divided amongst the students as well. This is the school fundraiser page: https://app.99pledges.com/fund/crestdalem2. Your child’s individual page will not be activated until you fill out the bitly link above.
