Sock it to Cancer Fundraiser is this week.  Thank you for your participation and support for our "Sock it to Childhood Cancer" fundraiser! This foundation represents an impactful cause, but this year it is a little more near and dear to our hearts as Kellsie's Hope Foundation directly impacted one of our own families: the Weavers. 

As we launch this fundraiser, we invite every student, family, and staff member to be part of something bigger! There will be a PIZZA PARTY for the class who raises the most money!! 

There will be a sock decorating CONTEST and prizes for the top 3 (donated by the Weaver Family)!!  Student Council will pick up socks on Friday, September 26th. PLEASE keep socks separated by class. PLEASE make sure students have their name and homeroom on a piece of paper in their sock or somewhere on their sock. PLEASE let me know if you need more socks and/or flyers.

I have attached some videos for you to share with your students to help explain and connect them to Kellsie's Hope Foundation's cause.

Let's do BIG THINGS with this!  Your help is appreciated,  Gina Sangiolo/Student Council Advisor
