What is GIVE Day?

GIVE Day Elementary Edition is a FCEPTA-sponsored initiative to get our PK-5th graders involved in community service. The event is planned and led by our 5th grade GIVE Day Ambassadors who decide on the causes they will support, with the support of Meridian students. GIVE Day is a months-long process that culminates in a one-day event that takes place in the Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School Cafeteria.

FUNDRAISING UPDATE!

Thank you for making our Bake Sale a sold-out success! We raised over $800 for GIVE Day. Special thanks to Kristina's Swede Treats!!

We also raised almost $200 through Coin Wars. The fifth graders

were victorious and will be treated to popsicles at an upcoming recess.

Thank you for joining us at the Original Pancake House, Panera Bread and Raising Cane's! Our dine outs were a huge success, raising over $600 to support our GIVE Day causes.

Thank you to everyone for their generosity!
