5th Grade Fundraising Outing Planning Meeting
Dear 5th Grade Parents -
Please join us on Thursday, February 28th at 7:30pm in the Tucker School Library. Heidi Schleicher (mom of Colby Schleicher) and Kerry Brown (mom of Colin Brown), the 5th Grade Committee Co-Chairs, would like to first, introduce themselves (if you do not know them), give you a quick overview of the different events/activities that take place for 5th graders, and offer you the opportunity to engage in making the last few months of your child's time at Tucker unforgettable. You have already seen information on the 5th Grade Fundraiser that we have started to plan - the Cornhole Tournament at Steel & Rye.
The goal is to put all of our efforts into this fundraiser so we do not have to entertain car washes and bake sales. What is the goal of the fundraising? That will be addressed at the meeting, but, a quick list is yearbooks, class t-shirts, step up celebration, talent show and goody bags. The hope is you will come to the meeting or reach out to the 5th Grade Co-Chairs (Kerry - khurley15@gmail.com or Heidi - heidischleicher@hotmail.com) to see how you can contribute.
It is going to take each and every family to get us to our goal! Thank you and hope to see you on February 28th!
