Grade 5 Farewell

Grade 5 Farewell Information

 

Support Our Grade 5 Fundraiser at Hillside Night of Lights!

 

Join us for Hillside Mall’s Night of Lights on November 24 at 6pm-9:30pm!

This event is packed with discounts, entertainment, and treats, and 100% of our $5 ticket sales go to the Grade 5 Farewell Fund—supporting the field trip and end-of-year celebration!


Goal: We have 100 tickets available to raise $500! We’re challenging each Grade 5 class to sell 30-35 tickets to help us reach our goal.

 

Even if you can’t attend, each ticket enters you into a raffle for prizes, including five $1000 shopping sprees (attendance not required to win)!

 

How to Get Tickets:

- Available from Heather Brass (hbrass@gmail.com) or your classroom teacher (cash only).

- Tickets are valid up to the event date or until they sell out.

 

Thank you for supporting our Grade 5s! Keep an eye out for more fundraisers, like our spring Bottle

Drive & Used Book Sale.

A Message from the PAC Grade 5 Farewell Committee:

 

To all ḰELSET Grade 5 Families,

 

The Grade 5 Farewell Committee works to fundraise for special things that celebrate our students in their final year at ḰELSET. There are three key things:

 

HOODIES - With the generous support of the PAC and some sponsors, we aim to provide a special sweatshirt for each 5th grader. If your business would be willing to help sponsor the hoodies (and have your company name printed on the shirts), please reach out to the email below. We hope to have these ready for distribution by November so the kids can enjoy wearing them!

 

FIELD TRIP - The school plans a special field trip for Grade 5 students near the end of the school year. The last two years the field trip was at Wild Play.  This year the school is exploring different ideas, including a possible day trip to Camp Thunderbird.  These special field trips cost upwards of $2000 and we need to fundraise to help cover these costs. There may be an additional cost per family as well, depending on where the field trip is booked, transportation costs, etc.

 

CELEBRATION - In June the school organizes a Celebration Assembly for Grade 5 students and their families.  After the assembly, the PAC Grade 5 Committee invites the families and the gr. 5 students for refreshments to mark the end of their time at ḰELSET.

 

We need lots of help to fundraise the approximately $5000 to make these three things happen! We have been brainstorming some ideas which include:

 

  • Sponsors for our Hoodies

  • Bottle drives (hoping to set one up for October if we have support!)

  • Popcorn sales

  • Bake sales

  • Donut Sales

  • Hillside Night of Lights tickets

  • Halloween Event at Heritage Acres - Popcorn Booth (*only if we have someone spearhead this ASAP)

Have you got an idea for a fundraiser? Are you willing to support our fundraising efforts by volunteering? The more help we have, the more epic we can make the final year for our kids! Email andreapaget@outlook.com or kelsetpac@gmail.com
