Parents,
Remember to signup for our “Feed the Need” fundraiser if you haven’t already. Tonight, if students raise $100, they get a free t-shirt for packing day. That means if you’ve been keeping up with our daily prizes, then they only need to raise $25 more dollars tonight. Even if students haven’t been keeping up with the daily prizes and want to start now, they still can! They will still get all those cool prizes they’ve seen their friends getting all week. They can still earn a homework pass for raising $25, they can still get a pass to eat lunch with their friends for raising $50, and they can still get the “invite a friend to advisory” pass for raising $75.  So, when you get home tonight, just sign-up, and start getting donations. Don’t forget, anyone who raises $100 tonight will get a free t-shirt to wear on packing day, October 21st. To learn more about what “Feed the Need” is all about and how our students are going to participate just click the link below to watch an informative video…..https://youtu.be/IxAIaF7Yv4Y

Parents, 
If you haven’t done so already, please register for our “Feed the Need” fundraiser today.  Students who raise $75 by tomorrow morning will earn a pass that allows them to invite a friend to their advisory class.  This means that they will get to ask one friend to come to their advisory class for one afternoon.  Administration will decide on a date within the next few weeks and on this day anyone who earned this pass will get to invite their friend to their advisory class that day.  Make sure you remind your student to register by texting OM to 71777 or by following the link below. 

https://app.mobilecause.com/vf/OM

After they sign up, they can send their keyword to family and friends and have them text that keyword to 71777 to donate to our fundraiser.  

Remember that if every student raised $100 we would not only meet our goal but exceed it, as well! Remember we’re not only raising money for our school but we’re raising money for an equally and maybe more important cause, as well. We’re raising money to pack 20,000 meals to send to hungry families in our community and to families in need in other countries. To more info watch this video: https://youtu.be/IxAIaF7Yv4Y

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

Don’t forget to have your student register for our “Feed the Need” fundraiser, if you haven’t done so already. We are raising money for our school but also raising money to send 20,000 meals to hungry children in Haiti, as well as, our local food banks.  Our goal is to raise $100,00!  If each student in our school would commit to raising just $100 each, we would not only meet our goal but exceed our goal! So, let’s get started this weekend!  Sign your student up using the link below.

• Support Oak Mountain! Click here https://igfn.us/vf/OM

Students will win daily prizes for their efforts, as well as, the chance to win bigger prizes for larger donations brought in towards the end of the fundraising period.  This weekend, if your student raises $25, they will win a FREE HOMEWORK PASS!  

If you own a local business or know someone who does, please see attached corporate sponsorship package. Partnering with the OMMS provides needed support for the school, while offering great marketing opportunities to our corporate sponsors. 
Thanks so much in advance for all you do!  We appreciate your support and couldn’t do it without you!
