"Part of the funds will be used to help create memories for our 6th grade class, which will be leaving us after this June. Our plan is to fund a field day for our 6th graders filled with water stations and team building activities. This year’s class missed out on many social events, as many of our fieldtrips and social activities were cancelled for the past four years due to COVID restrictions. The last time this class went on a field trip was when they were in the 1st grade!
The other half of the funds will be used towards lowering yearbook costs. Although we fundraise multiple times a year, it is difficult to raise enough money to lower the yearbooks so that our students can purchase. With no extra funding last year, the school was left with over 50 unpurchased yearbooks, which left the yearbook committee budget at a deficit for the start of this year. However, this year, we will be able to lower the price back down to under $10, which helps our parents and families out if they should decide to purchase a yearbook."
