Important Info for Friday (10/27) & Monday (10/30)

Hello parents!
Please read below to see important information.
FUNDRAISER
 
As a fifth grade, we’ve had some questions come in regarding the fundraiser, so, to help answer those, please read below:
  • Fifth grade has a few unique experiences that serve as culminating activities for their elementary years; fifth-grade camp and fifth-grade celebration are the major activities.
  • PTC does provide us with some financial support, but fifth-grade families are asked to provide $100 toward the cost of these activities.
  • We provide one fundraising opportunity for families who are interested; this is the Goodies Factory fundraiser.
    • Students earn 40% of their sales toward the activity fee.
    • In order to cover their $100 fee, students would need to sell $250 worth of product,
  • Some families opt not to participate in the fundraiser; instead, these families just send in a check to cover the activity fee.
  • Some families fundraise for part of the cost and pay any remaining balance.
  • Payment for fundraiser items is due on Monday, Oct. 30.
    • This should be ONE CHECK written to GEORGETOWN ELEMENTARY.
  • Any remaining balance (or the total amount for families who opt not to fundraise) will be due by February 1.
HALLOWEEN PARTY
 
Secondly, thank you to those who plan to, or have sent in some snacks and treats for our party already!  We appreciate it!  If you signed up to bring a snack/game/craft or activity, please send those materials in anytime between tomorrow and Friday. I will be collecting and gathering things in the room and will have some general directions for those who have indicated they would like to help out on the day, during the party.
I have had some questions come up regarding if people can come and watch the party.  Yes, you are welcome to come join us, however, we would kindly ask that if you are coming in, that you would join in helping run an activity, setting up food and cleaning up afterward.  With our space being limited and with trying to avoid the hallway as much as possible, we are requesting that you assist during the party rather than simply watch.  I will be taking some pictures and will post them on the blog for parents to check out the festivities.
I hope this is helpful! Please message me back with any further questions that you may have!
Thanks!
Matt
