Haiti Fundraiser (LAST WEEK)

This is the last full week for the Haiti Fundraiser.  Last week, we raised over $500.  Our goal for the project is $3600.  Please encourage your child to find a way to help.  I have heard many stories about baby sitting, yard work, pop can drives, duct tape folders, etc.  I am expecting a big week for money turn in.

Tax deductible donation can be made to:
Pure Water for the World and/or UMCOR

The fundraiser will end on Monday, March 26 with our annual Bubble Gum Competition.

Keep the money rolling in!
