Crazy For Kindness PTO Fundraiser
We kicked off our big fundraiser Friday, and the kids are so excited!!! We gave them their first goal of getting registered and logging 1 Act of Kindness (AOK) by Monday, February 8th. If they complete this goal, they will receive a kindness coin!
The handout that came home Tuesday, includes all the instructions on how to get registered, along with a link to a video that explains a little about Raise Craze (the company that is hosting our fundraiser) and how our fundraiser works.
At the end of the video it shows you how to get registered. See the handout below for more details.
Please reach out to me if you have any questions! Thank you so much for supporting McClure and for helping your child spread kindness throughout our community!
Sincerely,
Jessica House
McClure PTO President
