What’s New This Week (pg. 2-4) _______________________________________________________________________________________________

This is a unique way for us to raise money for our school while making an impact in our community. During this fundraiser, students ask friends and family for donations via the online Raise Craze platform while paying it forward serving others. What a great way for us to teach our students the importance of kindness and gratitude while raising much needed funds. Students will spend time serving, not selling!

Registration Link: my.raisecraze.com/AJ77ZF4

1. Enter your student’s name Select at least 3 Acts of Kindness 2. Enter 5-10 email addresses of potential supporters. 3. Raise Craze will send all emails, reminders and thank you notes. Emails will never be shared with third

At A Glance: Dates: November 3rd- November 17th

Our Goal: $60,000 & 3,000 Acts of Kindness

Mr. Neumeyer will get SLIMED LIVE if we hit our dollar amount goal Pastor Michael & Pastor Chad will be turned into an ICE CREAM SUNDAE if we hit our AOK goal

Every student can participate in Raise Craze by completing Acts of Kindness (AOK) so we’re aiming for 100% participation. As a little encouragement, prizes and incentives can be earned by students AND teachers! There are 6 Prizes per grade group (Preschool, K-2, 3-5, 6-8). Students will earn one (1) raffle ticket per $100 they raise. See the attached flyers for prizes!

Hashtag any AOK shared on social media with #ChargerKindness! We are excited to see all of the ways our students choose to serve others!
