Fundraiser

The Grades 3-5 classrooms have recently been awarded an Innovative Learning Fund Grant. The grant consists of 27 brand new laptop computers and each homeroom teacher will have access to the computers for a 1/2 day per week to facilitate the teaching and learning that is going on in their classrooms.

As part of the grant we have a financial commitment of raising $1000 and are looking for your help. Thank you to those of you who were able to support our fundraising and contributed to the baskets we are now selling tickets on. To view photos of the completed baskets, please go online to http://blanchard-homework.wikispaces.com/
Although students will have the opportunity to purchase tickets at school during the noon hour, tickets have also been attached for students to sell to family members at home. The cost of tickets is $1.00. Please indicate on the back of the ticket the basket you are purchasing a ticket for: Bed and Bath, Baking, Valentine’s Basket, or Easter Bucket. All tickets must be returned with payment by Tuesday, February 24th. All prizes will be drawn Thursday, February 26th, 2009.
If you have any further questions, please contact your child’s homeroom teacher or Ms. McGrath. Thank you for your continued support.
