Fund the Grizzlies:
October 6th - 31st
RMS ASB
Fund the Grizzlies month continues at RMS. As of this Thursday we have collected approximately
$6300 toward our $40,000 goal, making this a great first turn in day. Remember all money collected during this event goes toward supporting our athletics programs by paying for bus transportation and uniforms, supporting our music program by paying for festival fees and transportation to and from events, supporting school events such as hot chocolate mornings and popcorn Thursdays, and paying for things like guest speakers for our school and DJ's to play at our socials. Every dollar helps, and every year things seem to get more expensive.
We thank you for your continued support and future conversations you might have with your student about their fundraising efforts. Support from our parents is crucial to our success. We are aiming to double our collection on our second day of collection which is Thursday, October 19th.
Want to know more about where your dollars go? Check out all the
ASB Fund Reports that are posted on our school website.
Thank you for your continued support!!
