A pizza party will be awarded to the GRADE LEVEL with the highest percentage of participants.
If we make our goal of raising $10,000, the entire school will be awarded a special treat! We’re currently at $7,930.
What is Raise Craze?
Raise Craze is a meaningful, interactive fundraiser where students collect donations online via a secure, custom website then show their appreciation by serving others and completing random acts of kindness. In other words, students spend time serving, not selling!
Mrs. Taylor has been working with our 5th grade Kindness Ambassadors to create excitement among the students at BG. They have created an AWESOME presentation about the program. Please take a few minutes to click on the link and learn more about Raise Craze.
