Check out page 6 of this week’s Update for a copy of the Parent Letter that was sent home with catalogues last week!

Fall Fundraiser This is our largest fundraiser of the year, with many incentives for student and teacher participa-tion. It helps fund educational enhancements that are not built into the budget to ensure tuition is as affordable as possible. Profits will go directly toward our new playground! Contact the school office if you would prefer to make a donation ($150 for 1 to 2 students or $175 for 3 or more) to qualify your student for incentives rather than selling items.

ONLINE ORDERS: Online orders at www.shopfund.com will count toward your student’s goal, and there is free shipping on orders over $75! There are additional items available online that aren’t in the catalogue!

TOP STUDENT: The top 3 students in both divisions that sell the most items over 30 will re-ceive: 1st place: $150 cash; 2nd place: $100 cash; 3rd place: $50 cash.
