Hello NHE 5th Grade Families!
Can you believe our 5th graders will be graduating and heading off to Middle School in just over a month?! They’ve been through a lot these last few years and as their time at Newport Heights comes to an end, a group of parents have begun end-of-year planning to celebrate our kids and their accomplishments.
Tradition at Newport Heights has been to celebrate with a graduation ceremony, a pool party at Newport Hills Swim and Tennis Club, and a class gift to the school. And this year, we’re keeping with tradition.
But we need your help!
This year, instead of asking you to pay for a dinner or an event in which a small portion of your money goes into the fundraising pool, we’re keeping it simple and asking you to contribute money directly to our fund…100% of which will go toward our class, our kids, and their celebration.
After reviewing past budgets, we’ll need to raise about $4000. This money will cover several small expenses associated with the graduation ceremony, but most will go toward a memorable graduation party with food, music, activities, and some sort of swag for the kids to take home. All remaining funds will go toward a gift that the class will present to the school.
To cover our costs, we are asking for a minimum donation of $50 per child; however, if you can give more please consider a larger donation of $75 or $100.
We are also well aware that families may face financial constraints, thus if $50 is too much, please give what you can.
