Cups for Kids Fundraiser – UPDATE

Thank you so much to all who have donated to this year’s annual fundraiser! 

We’re off to a good start, with over $2500 in donations!

For 2 more days, students & SPG will be delivering coffee and cocoa to your car during drop-off & pick-up.  Please take a flyer home and consider donating the suggested amount of $120/student in order for SPG to make our goal of $16,000.

As an example of how your donated funds are put to work, at last night’s SPG meeting, nearly $6000 in funding requests were approved by Members in order to reduce the costs of Intensives this December (many becoming FREE) and toward special student-led projects (like the Weight Room).

Prizes! – If you donate online or by check (or, if you give us your name when you donate cash), you’ll be entered into a random drawing for a special bag of amazing  goodies.

Big thank you to Steam Dot for supplying cups, coffee, and for adding to the prize bags!

NOTE: If you’ve already donated, you’re not interested in coffee/cocoa, and you prefer not to be bothered, put your flyer on your dashboard and we’ll pass you by.

Steller Secondary Parent Group is a closed Facebook Group created to promote communication between current parents, teachers, and staff for organizing school activities, announcements, questions, and keeping up with everything that is going on. Feel free to jump in with questions or posts sharing things that might be of interest to our community.
