Hello, Parents and Families! We are excited to offer a way to give back to Bowling Green Elementary! On October 25th we will be kicking off our fall fundraiser to help benefit our students and staff. Our STEAM ENGINE fundraiser, more specifically will help with funding our student/teacher incentive recognition fund and our PTO funds to start up and outdoor classroom. It is going to be AWESOME, and we are excited to get started! A few things to note: • This fundraiser will be very easy for you. It only requires about 10 minutes of your time. • Your students can earn great prizes, just for their effort. No money required! • This is an online, donation-based fundraiser, and the donation requests can go to people you know anywhere in the world. That means, no direct pressure on your shoulders. Students will be bringing home more information next week after our Launch Party Assembly. Please help your student register and complete the Golden Ticket assignment THAT VERY NIGHT! All students who complete the Golden Ticket assignment will receive fun PRIZES and it does not require any money to register. We will also be doing some fun drawings for an iPad and TWO Mini Party Fridges stuffed with CASH! I will be sending a few more emails throughout the two-week fundraising period. Please contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your support! Sincerely, Mr. Kessler BGE Principal
