Hello Middle School Families!
In exactly one month, on Friday, May 16th, ALL of the students at Twin Valley Middle School will be participating in the Raider Stride Run. This special school-wide event is both a fun activity that the students work toward in their physical education class AND a fundraising opportunity for our school. Did you know that family and friends are invited to watch this event? Parents (and teachers!) are also able to run the race with their student(s). The schedule for the day has 6th grade running at 8:35am, 5th grade running at 10:00am, 7th grade running at 12:00pm, and 8th grade running at 1:25pm. Mark your calendar!
Below is the link where you will find a business sponsorship form (this was also sent home in hard copy format with your student last week). We’re hoping to have businesses with a connection to TVMS as sponsors this year (the connection could be a child, relative, neighbor, or friend who attends TVMS, a parent’s employer, or simply a business that supports public education). For a $100 sponsorship fee, the business logo will be printed on a banner, put on social media, and added to our online fundraising page. For a $50 sponsorship fee, the business logo will be put on social media and the online fundraising page. Further details on how to become a sponsor are on the attached flyer. These sponsorship forms are due May 2nd.
We are also excited to announce that we will be launching an online fundraising platform through FundHub in early May! This will give each student an opportunity to set up their own fundraising page to send directly to family and friends, which will track all donations both individually and for the school. The money earned from fundraising will be used to: help off-set costs for grade level field trips, award teachers mini-grants that enhance student learning, organize socials/semi-formals for each grade, and plan teacher appreciation events.
For approximately two weeks prior to Raider Stride, we will work to raise money for Twin Valley Middle School through this online platform (of course we will still accept cash and checks as well!). There will also be an option to purchase a yard sign that you can personalize for your runner and it will be set out the day of the event. There will be some fun incentives along the way, so make sure you listen to announcements, stay tuned to emails, and get involved with Raider Stride!
More details about the fundraising platform and incentives will be the week of April 28, but for now, start saving your coins and dollars, talk to your family and friends about the event on May 16th, and get those business sponsors.
