Donate to 8th grade Promotion
Editor: Our Washington Middle School 8th graders are kicking into high gear to raise money for their end-of-year Promotion Events.  They have planned a Dance after their Ceremony, as well as a Day-Away for some fun together time.  We are hoping our community’s generosity will assist them in reaching their goals!
Planned activities to help raise funds include:
• Citrus Fair Parking – Thank you for your support, it was a great success!
• See’s Easter Candy Sale – The kids did a wonderful  job.  Another sweet venture!
• Pancake Breakfast at Washington  School – April 16, 9 to 11:30 a.m. Tickets available.
How can you help support our 8th Graders?
• We would love to have you attend the Pancake Breakfast.  Great food and lots of friends.
• Volunteer to help at any of the above activities.
• Donations of treats / snacks / drinks for the Day-Away and Dance.
• Attend our Bi-Monthly Promotion Meetings. Next meeting Wednesday, March 30, 6:30 p.m. at Washington School, room 16.
• Cash donations are always appreciated! Checks to:  Washington School  8th Grade Promotion.
We really wish to make this a memorable occasion for our 8th graders saying goodbye to Washington School. It’s been a wonderful ride.
Please contact Joanne Collard 707-894-6214 with questions and participation. We welcome new and exciting ideas as well!  Thanks so much!
