Violet Young
8th Grade

Dear Friends and Family,

I'm lacing up my sneakers next month and running my best at my school's Color Run. I'm excited to be a part of it because this event raises money for me and my classmates to continue to be enriched with Art, Drama, Music and other programs that are essential to our learning. 8th grade has been a fun year for me. I especially liked performing with my friends in our drama production of Legally Blonde.

I'm asking for sponsors to help me reach my fundraising goal. Will you help by making a donation?

Thank you for all of your support and encouragement!

About this fundraiser:

We are excited to announce that the annual Kennedy Color Run is taking place on Friday, May 9th. Not only is this a fun event for our students, staff, and volunteers, it's also our PTO’s single-largest fundraising event of the year!

Kennedy Middle School is a school where our students grow and thrive. This is because of the talented and hardworking students who attend our school, our amazing teachers and staff who believe that relationships with students are key to support optimal learning and, more importantly, the incredible support of our families and community.

To reach our fundraising goal of $50,000, we are asking you, our beloved students and families, to please solicit donations from your friends, family and neighbors to help support the amazing programs that Kennedy offers, detailed below. Our students are worth your investment and none of these programs are possible without your continued support.

Students will earn 1 raffle ticket for every $25 raised online to their personal fundraising pages through Sunday, May 4th (this is the only way to earn raffle tickets). Students can enter these tickets into the prize raffle of their choice at the Color Run on May 9th.

Donations will continue to be collected through Sunday, May 11th, but only those collected through May 5th will count toward raffle tickets to give us enough time to produce them in time for the Color Run event.

Guaranteed prizes for hitting fundraising goals!

¡Estamos emocionados de anunciar que la Carrera de Colores anual de Kennedy se llevará a cabo el Viernes 9 de Mayo! No solo es un evento divertido para nuestros estudiantes, personal y voluntarios, sino que también es el evento de recaudación de fondos más importante del año para nuestro PTO.

Kennedy Middle School es una escuela donde nuestros estudiantes crecen y prosperan. Esto es posible gracias a los talentosos y dedicados estudiantes que asisten a nuestra escuela, nuestros increíbles maestros y personal que creen que las relaciones con los estudiantes son clave para un aprendizaje óptimo y, más importante aún, el increíble apoyo de nuestras familias y comunidad.

Para alcanzar nuestra meta de recaudación de $50,000, les pedimos a nuestros queridos estudiantes y familias que soliciten donaciones a sus amigos, familiares y vecinos para ayudar a financiar los increíbles programas que ofrece Kennedy, detallados a continuación. Nuestros estudiantes valen su inversión y ninguno de estos programas sería posible sin su continuo apoyo.

Los estudiantes recibirán 1 boleto para la rifa por cada $25 recaudados en línea a través de sus páginas personales de recaudación de fondos hasta el domingo 4 de mayo (esta es la única forma de obtener boletos para la rifa). Los estudiantes podrán ingresar estos boletos en la rifa de premios de su elección durante la Carrera de Colores el 9 de Mayo.

Las donaciones se seguirán recibiendo hasta el domingo 11 de Mayo, pero solo aquellas recaudadas hasta el 5 de Mayo contarán para los boletos de la rifa, para darnos el tiempo suficiente de prepararlos antes del evento.
