Candy Cane Exchange Fundraiser
by Compass Montessori Junior High

The Compass Student Senate Fundraising Team is thrilled to inform you about the Candy Cane Fundraiser! From December 8th through December 12th, Student Senate members will be distributing slips to sell candy canes on the main campus to fundraise for public outreach and Junior High school events. Slips for purchasing will also be available daily at the front desk. The candy cane fundraiser works like this: 

• Students can send candy canes to their friends and classmates by purchasing a slip from the student senate.

• Adults are welcome to send candy canes as well. 

• When a student purchases a slip for $1, they will fill out the questions on it. (To, From, Classroom, Message)

• If you would like to send a candy cane in secret to surprise a peer, feel free not to put your name on the slip. 

• Please note that one slip is one candy cane sent.

Our team will take the orders and put the slips on the candy canes. The fundraising team will deliver the canes in the corresponding students' cubbies right before the sing-along on December 19th. The candy will not be consumed on school premises. Donations are welcome. We are so excited for all the holiday fun!

Sincerely,
The Fundraising Team

Hurricane Relief for Jamaica

My hometown community in Jamaica was recently devastated by a Category 5 hurricane, and many families there including those in the town my grandmother grew up in have lost their homes. We’ve set up a GoFundMe to help rebuild the local church and support families in need.
