The fourth and fifth graders will be selling lollipops during the 2013-14 school year to raise money for two special field trips. In the spring, the fourth grade class will visit Washington, D.C and the 5th grade class will visit our state capital, Annapolis. All profits of lollipop sales will fund these trips.
Students will be selling lollipops at dismissal at the side doors and in the back of the school. Lollipops are $0.50 each or 2 for $1.
Target has recently launched the 2013 Give With Target campaign -- following our successful 2012 campaign where guests designated money to more than 30,000 schools across the country. This year, Target is inviting guests to allocate $5 million to the schools of their choice to ensure that teachers and students have the resources they need to start the new year off right.
Here’s how the program works: Guests can visit Target’s Facebook page to vote for a school of their choice once per week to receive a Target donation. Once a school receives 25 votes, Target will donate $1 per vote, with a maximum donation of $10,000 per school. At the end of the campaign, the school that reaches 10,000 votes first or receives the highest number of votes will also receive a special celebration, including a live musical performance, and more.
We’d love you to be a part of this and to help spread the word! Check out the Give With Target Facebook application to vote for a school and then share with your network via social channels (#GiveWithTarget). The program goes until the funds run out or Sept. 21 (whichever comes first) and is part of Target’s commitment to give $1 billion for education by the end of 2015.
