We are asking for each family to donate $75 to go toward our 5th grade students' moving up celebration and party.
What does your money fund?
These activities include:

🎉5th Grade Party
👕Special Edition 5th Grade T-shirt
📖Gift card for summer reading

🎁Staff thank you gifts from the class
These activities are funded 100% by the 5th Grade Committee fundraising from the current school year. We cannot do this without you.
We are requesting a family contribution of $75 per student to cover all activities. We’ll also have several school-wide fundraisers throughout the year to help with celebration expenses.
We appreciate any amount you can contribute.
➡️If you prefer, you can split your donation into two payments: one in October and the second in March (please specify below). Please contribute only what you are comfortable with and can afford. Again, thank you very much for your contribution!
We are requesting all family monetary contributions by October 31st, 2026 (for 1st payment or full donation) and January 31st, 2027 (2nd payment) so we can finalize the budget for the celebration activities.
Sponsors are the true heart of our student enrichment programs, transforming everyday learning into unforgettable milestones like our annual 5th-grade celebration. Every contribution directly funds the special events, supplies, and activities that give our kids lasting school memories.
If you own a local business—or know a business owner who loves supporting our community—we invite you to partner with us! Whether through a monetary sponsorship or an in-kind donation of goods or services, your generosity makes a direct, meaningful difference for our students. Join us in making this year extraordinary for our kids!
Below lists the benefits of becoming a sponsor and ideas for opportunities for in-kind sponsorships!
