SAVE THE DATE!
Thursday, May 20 - Friday, May 21
We will be headed to Fairview Lake YMCA Camps in the spring for our traditional 4th grade overnight camping trip. More details will be shared closer to the trip date. In the meantime, check out the frequently asked questions below.
A message from the 4th Grade Fundraising Chairs:
Dear Fourth Grade Families and Caregivers,
Get ready to power up an unforgettable outdoor adventure for our fourth graders! We’re rallying together to raise $12,000 to help cover the cost of this amazing milestone camping trip for every student.
Our fundraising goal comes out to about $150 per student (note: the school will also collect a separate $50 student fee directly in the spring).
Contributing to this fundraiser is 100% optional—please give whatever amount works best for your family! Got a little extra room to pitch in and help cover another camper? Every extra dollar helps ensure all our kids can participate. Plus, the more momentum we build now, the less fundraising we’ll need down the trail!
Best of all? This is the ultimate No-Fuss Fundraiser. No knocking on doors, no sales catalogs, and no order forms to organize—just a quick chip-in, and you're done!
How to contribute:
Send your contribution via Venmo to @Colleen-Hornung with a note "camping" by October 30.
If now isn't the right time, no worries at all! We’ll be gliding into another fun opportunity to support the trip with an ice-skating fundraiser in March.
Thank you for helping our fourth graders make memories together!
Colleen and Leslie
