Week 4 - 2021

Hello, Enrichment families!

Here are your announcements and reminders for Week 4. Hard to believe we’re already halfway done!

FUNDRAISERS

We are a nonprofit organization, which means all profits go directly back into the program to fund our activities from one summer to the next. Your participation is important and appreciated!

Car Wash

We raised over $500 from this fundraiser on 7/10! Thank you so much for all of your support and participation!

Aubree’s

Our Aubree’s fundraiser will take place this Wednesday, July 21st, 5:00-8:00. The event applies to the $15 buffet only. The buffet includes pizza, breadsticks, salads, and drinks. For every $15 buffet meal purchased, $5 will be donated directly to Summer Enrichment.

The management and wait staff at the restaurant require families to provide at least one paper copy of the flyer per bill to assist them in record-keeping. I am attaching the official Dine to Donate participation flyer at the end of the post.

Penny Drive

Elementary is still winning the Penny Drive, but only by a hair!

Elementary’s Current Points: - $31.09

Mid-High’s Current Points: - $31.05

The final day of the Penny Drive will be Wednesday, 7/28. The winning team will receive their prize on Monday, 8/2. As of right now, we are planning for the prize to be throwing water balloons at staff!

Pampered Chef

Local Pampered Chef consultant, Maureen Kimmel, has graciously offered to host an online party for our organization! 25% of all profits will go directly back into the Program.

Ends July 30th at 3:00PM.

You can shop at our official event link here.

Tricky Tray

Our annual Tricky Tray fundraiser will take place on performance nights. We collect various donated items between $5 and $10 from families to raffle at the end of each performance night.

You can begin sending your students with these items at any time! We will collect through the final week.

We will be searching for parents to help with asking for donations from local businesses (most businesses have worked with us in the past and look forward to participating). Please let us know if you’d be interested in lending a hand in this task.

SCRIPTS

If you haven’t already, please have your student download and print the scripts they need for their corresponding session (note that Middle School volunteers should print their morning scripts too.) If your student does not know which shows they are in, you can view the cast list on the first page of each file.

We have also posted the lyrics for Mid-High sign language in the same Drive. We provide unmarked paper copies for them to refer to during lessons, but they may want to print their own highlighted copy to read from.

We will be posting all remaining lyrics as soon as possible.

You can access the folder via this link.

T-SHIRTS

The T-Shirt order is in! If your student has paid a registration fee, they will receive their program shirt free of any additional charge. Estimated turnaround for this order is Week 5.

If your Mid-High student volunteers in the Elementary classes, they have the option to purchase the second color for $5 (cash only). If they have not yet paid, please remember to send them with their money on Monday.

DROP OFF AND PICK UP

We ask you to please be mindful of our start/end times. Staff has responsibilities to attend to both before and after each session, including second jobs they must report to right at 4:00PM.

That said, we understand that it can be difficult to juggle overlapping schedules. If you have a standing conflict, please let us know so we can try to work something out that does not impede anyone else’s existing obligations.
