FUNDRAISERS

There will be two fundraisers to help parents and students with the cost of the trip.  The fundraisers are scheduled for September and October.  The money for fundraisers must be collected and submitted with the order form on the due date.  Please be sure to turn all money in, in the form of checks or money orders made out to Delaware City Schools.  Please do not turn in cash.

The money your 8th grader earns applies directly toward their account.  Any money fundraised over $550 will be added to the Dempsey Washington DC Trip account. 

If your student is removed from the trip or elects not to go, any monies earned through fundraisers will go into the Dempsey Washington DC Trip account and cannot be returned to the family/student.
