The school year has begun, and with it, so have the fundraisers. Fundraisers provide an opportunity for students to pitch in and help their school raise money. The current fundraiser at South Middle School started Aug. 24 and will end Sept. 10.
Students are encouraged to sell items out of a magazine full of holiday goodies and other items. Students are also rewarded for selling these products. For example, if you sell 15 items, then you get to take a ride in a limo! Some students sell only to their friends and family, while others take the "door to door" approach. If you go door to door when you sell these items, it is a good idea to take a parent with you.
All the money made from this fundraiser is to be spent on things the students at SMS will enjoy. Some of these things include hoodies, t-shirts, snacks for TA winners, and MAP parties at the end of the year. In the past, funds gained from this fundraiser have been spent on new basketball goals and playground balls. This year support South Middle School and participate in the fundraiser!
