Fundraisers:

The first  fundraiser will be sponsorships.  Here is a copy of our  our  sponsor form.

 The Bake Sale could have been during conferences. In the past,  we have made more than $600.00. 

The candy bar sale will began in January. Last year's note that was sent home. 
There has been a change to the money collection.    Please keep 50%.  I will need students going to Chicago to bring in a check or money order payable to Fort Gratiot Middle School - $25.00 for each case and use the other $25.00 to help with the costs of the Chicago trip.  All money needs to be paid by Feb 2, 2010 to enable  timely payment to our candy company.  Candy not paid for by Feb 2 will not be eligible for this 50% option. The full 100% will then be due.
