Parents,

Don’t forget to sign up for our Feed the Need Fundraiser, if you haven’t already.  Each night, students can earn a new prize by either signing up or by raising funds.  See the incentives list attached for more information on prizes available.  

Tonight, if students raise a total of $50, they will get a pass to eat lunch with a friend, and they’ll also get a free soda during that lunch.  Students will receive the pass tomorrow and administration will set a date in the next couple of weeks for everyone who earned the pass to cash it in and eat with his/her friend. 

Prizes can be earned the night of the challenge, but can also be earned any subsequent night during the fundraising period.  If you get busy one evening and don’t have time to reach out to friends and family, you can always do it the next night.  Prizes will continue to build and be sent home the day that you earn them or the day that they are available.

Also, parents, this fundraiser is not only to support our school but also to help those in need.  We will be packing 20,000 meals to send to hungry families in Haiti, as well as, to give to our local food banks here, in our community.  This fundraiser is the perfect opportunity to teach our students about stewardship and about serving and helping others,  So, ask your student tonight if they’ve signed up, and if they haven’t, let’s set an example, and show them that it’s important to help others.  It’s important to help those in need and it’s important to help our school.  

Text OM to 71777 to sign up.  After that share your keyword with friends and family and have them text that keyword to 71777 to help support our school. 

Thanks so much,

Allyson Madinger
OMMS PTO Feed the Need Coordinator
