Face Painting Fundraiser at Homecoming

Go Mustangs! We held our second fundraiser this past Friday at our annual homecoming football game. With the help of Mr. Franks and Ms. Poulin, our students helped to put smiles and a little extra bit of spirit on the faces of the crowd by hosting a face painting booth throughout the night.

Our students were busy painting faces, recruiting customers (which explains why we had a line for most of the night), and even helped clean up. We raised over $50, but just as important, we also helped make memories and increase morale for the team!

First Fundraiser

This past Saturday some of our 8th Graders participated in our first fundraiser, a bake sale at the annual Marvell Main Street Festival. Our students Troikasheia, Tyeisha, and Delytray helped with the sales with Ms. Poulin while other students participated by baking things and serving the community by helping Mr. Neuwirth with the 5k race. We raised over $200 to go towards the trip!

We've also started having weekly meetings during which the student's have been writing thank you notes and asking all kinds of questions about the City and what we're going to be doing on the trip. They are definitely getting excited about it as we begin to do more and more activities to get ready.

Coming up we are going to have more fundraisers and community service opportunities for the students to earn points towards their spot on the trip, so stay tuned and we'll keep you updated!
