Week 5 - 2021

Hello, Enrichment families!

Here are your announcements and reminders for Week 5.

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!

Penny Drive

Elementary is still winning the Penny Drive!

Elementary’s Current Points: - $36.00

Mid-High’s Current Points: - $49.50

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 Saturday, 8/7 at 11:59PM.

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.

We will begin allowing advance ticket sales in cash this week! Please let your students know that they may purchase tickets before and after their sessions.

Prices are as follows:

· $0.50 per single ticket

· $10 per 25 ticket bundle

You can begin sending your students with these items at any time! We will collect through the final week. We are still in need of prizes!

We will be searching for parents to help with selling tickets on show nights before and after the performance, as well as during intermission. Please let us know if you’d be interested in lending a hand in this task.

COSTUMES

Staff will be sending home costume/prop forms with all students tomorrow. Please ask your student to bring in their planned costumes/props by Thursday, July 29th to be approved by their directors.

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.

IMPORTANT DATES
