FHES Fundraising

Debbi Fincher shares this update on the FHES Fundraiser…

Hi FHES Friends and Families!

This is our big fundraiser this school year – instead of asking our kids to sell more stuff to our community, for things they probably don’t want or need, we are doing this social media fundraising campaign. #GivingTuesday actually starts Monday night at 9pm PST and runs thru Tuesday, Dec. 1st at 8:59pm PST. For any tax-deductible donation made on the site during this 24 hour period, they will waive their 4% platform fee and donate it back to our school! We pay a 2.9% credit card processing fee. We already have over $1700 in donations and our #GivingTuesday is just around the corner…

But we can’t do this alone!

As an example, if you used to buy about $100 worth of products from tradition fundraisers in the past, you could give about $53 to this campaign and we would get about the same amount of money! You spend less, we save you those calories from frozen cookie dough and your kids don’t have to go out and sell stuff, they can focus on homework, enjoy family time and engage in their after school activities.

We need your help! Please consider giving to Fund Excellence at FHES, share this with family and friends on social media or personal emails and like our posts on our FHES PTA Facebook page. The more people that share this, the more successful we are likely to be:)

Some current needs are: Field trip transportation costs for K-6 grades, which cost $5100 last year. Teacher stipends, evening family programs for math and reading events, and Chromebooks, to name a few. Our students are counting on us all to rally together and help fill the gaps that come from reduced budgets. Thank you! Join the movement of #GivingTuesday for our students at FHES. Funding Excellence never felt so good:)

Thanks again for your time and help!
