Garage Sale Results
A special thanks to Melissa and Loni, for organizing this event.  The pizza-pricing party for the kids was a wonderful learning opportunity, too!  Thanks to all the moms and dads who helped, and certainly, thanks to everyone for bringing all the rummage for resale!

$1065 !!  WOW!

 

Charity Kick Ball Event             
What a HUGE success this was for the 5th grade boys who organized the event!  They were Julius Walker, Trevor Engleman, Paul Parrish, and Tommy Montileone.   And, special thanks goes to their parents, Letitia Walker, Gina Engleman, Rosalia Parrish, and Jonna Montileone for backing the boys up in their project.
     A special thank you goes to all the 7th graders who volunteered to pitch the game and help out!  What a great bunch of kids!
     All 4th and 5th graders who participated had a blast.  I must say that I was so very proud of the wonderful behavior of all the students; it was an impressive night for all who attended.  From what I heard from parents, everyone had a fun time.
     The boys had a $200 goal, and they far surpassed it, earning $645.00!  We sold water (50¢
) and popcorn (25¢), and the silent auction consisted of free homework and recess passes and candy were donated by Mrs. Milburn and me!  Thanks, Mrs. Milburn for helping out with the silent auction items you made available!

     Montana, who is three years old, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on November 16 of 2008.  His treatments are going well and will continue for a little over another year.
     He still has many more to go, but you can tell he is winning the fight from this great smile!

  Leukemia Light the Night Fund Raising

Saturday, September 24, 2005

 

Well, we surpassed last year by a landslide!  We raised a total of $6176.22! Our team came in 2nd place again this year for fundraising.  Together we showed how we can make a difference in this world!

As we received donations from friends, relatives, neighbors, and various other people who were willing to help us reach our goal, the paper balloons filled our hallway outside our classroom.

On the day of our bake sale when we made a total of $486.62our honor patient, Ethan Hite, came for a visit with the class.  Jason, his father, explained what Ethan has had to go through already in his short, young life.  We learned a lot, and just before they left, Ethan threw us a kiss.

Light the Night, Saturday, September 24, finally arrives!  Time for the celebration with food, games and fun...and then the 3 mile walk.  It was a long walk, a pleasant night with a soft rain, and everyone enjoyed themselves.  We were awarded the second place for fundraising, and that night the money raised was $92,000--the most ever raised in the Springfield area!  We were so proud to be part of that total.  We had lots of our classmates there, lots of our parents, and even Dr. Janice Duncan, our Greenwood Director, came to cheer us on!  It was a remarkable night.  Not only was our class there, but many 4th grade alumni showed up to join us.  How fun!
