2024 Walk of the Wolverines Annual Fundraiser
Friday, October 18, 2024
Our goal is to raise $45,000 with 70% going directly back to classrooms and 30% being used on school-wide projects. This amount would allow our teachers and school to continue to: (partial list)continue to develop our makerspace, support educational assemblies and workshops, purchase library books, provide in-house field trips and presentations, update emergency supplies, acquire core literature book sets, buy art supplies, purchase technology such as projectors and document cameras, and purchase additional outdoor equipment.
“The ask/goal” for this year, to provide the proposed programs and supplies, is a donation of $100 PER STUDENT.
Let’s crush that goal and continue to make Forest Park one of the top schools in all of Fremont.
HOW TO DONATE: Each student will have a personalized pledge page (check your email- around Oct 13) from 99Pledges that will be used for the collection of donations. This link is unique to each student and can be shared with anyone you wish- family and friends. You can even post on your social media pages! This will be coming out soon!
A separate Parent Square message will be sent out with more information, including a volunteer sign up.
