KAES is Fundraising Through Kindness
It has been a super great week! We have already raised $3800 for a new playground. Our Kindness Raise Craze fundraiser is off to a great start but we still need your help. This is a direct ask campaign filled with lots of fun showing kindness to others. All fundraising is done on an online platform and the good news is.... NO SELLING!
If you havent already please help your child set up their secure, custom websites and request donations via email. Everything is set up and ready, so it's super easy! All you have to do is send the information to 10 recipients (Of course it's okay to send out more than 10). You can also share via social media or text. Register Here (click here)
At school students have been working on daily kindness challenges posted on the signs outside the buildings each day. Classrooms are also getting involved by taking on classroom challenges each week and working on a class kindness project. Check out some of the kindness we caught on campus this week.
We are asking each child to register and enter 10 emails of people they know that would be willing to support them and KAES as we seek to be change makers. Classes will receive participation prizes so make sure that you register today. Check out the prize chart below.
