Our school is once again participating in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society fundraising event. This is an amazing charity that researches cures for types of blood cancer and supporting young people who suffer from these diseases. Your student will have a letter that outlines how you can support this charity, both at home and online. Please help your student to create a fund-raising account (details were emailed, but I will copy directions below to assist you) and encourage them to support this worthy cause. Prizes will be awarded to students and homerooms who raise the most money for the charity.
Here are the instructions for creating an online page: 1. Go to http://tinyurl.com/FABB17 2. Select “Join Classroom Team” search last name for homeroom teacher (Dyde) 3. Select “New Account” and fill out prompts or connect with social media. • Send an email to at least 10 people with your website link and ask each of them to donate $10 or more. (Or, ask 4 people to donate $25.) • Post on yours or your parents Facebook page and ask friends to share on their pages.
