Fire Truck Pull!

Dear Families,

I want to thank all of you who came and supported our Spaghetti Dinner and Cupcake War. We made a little more than $1200.

Our next big event and final fundraiser before Boston is the Fire Truck Pull, on April 12, at 11:00 a.m., registration starts at 10:30. The event works like this. Collect a group of 10 people and pull a fire truck 25 feet. To enter the pull, each team needs to raise at least $100 or $10 per person. Student can solicit pledges from friends and families to pull the fire truck. In the past, we have had families gather friends or co-workers to form teams. The more teams we have, the more money we raise. Students can collect pledge sheets and team registration forms (attached) from their teachers or Mr. Smith.

We also have tables for rent at the day of event for $30. If you know anyone who sells jewelry, clothes, or other items, please let them know about this event. To rent a table please contact Joe Smith at jsmith3@mtsd-vt.org or 893-3215 ext. 1200.

Ninety percent of the pledges that the students collect will go into their Boston accounts. Students can also earn money for their account by volunteering at the event. If your student does decide to volunteer, I hope that the rest of the family will join the student and participate in the event. The more money we are able to collect, the more money that can be shared between those who volunteer.

At the event, we will have Minute-to-Win-It games prior and during the pull, food, face painting, and music. We will also be doing the pie in teacher's faces. This a great event for the whole family.

Please promote this event on Facebook and to all those who might be interested.
