Dear Galvin Families,
Thank you,
Mike Green
Fit4Fund$ is BACK!
GMS CAPT will hold ONLY ONE annual Fund Raising Event!!!
Fit-4-FUND$ Friday, October 8, 2021 (rain date 10/14/21)
This is a wellness based FUNdraiser where students in grades 6th through 8th choose a fitness based activity to participate in and raise donations for our school. The goal is for each student to raise at least $75 through flat rate pledge donations that students collect from family, friends & neighbors. All funds raised goes back to student activities, field trips, assemblies, etc.
We raise approximately $30,000 each year to support our GMS CAPT goals. This requires a dedicated group of parent volunteers to make this happen. Many of the volunteer roles require only a couple of hours, and we need your support this year. Many hands make for light lifting. Please consider helping!
Click HERE to DONATE via MySchoolBucks or here for a paper donation form. Click here for more information about Fit4Fund$! Have your child return their funds to their X Block teacher.
Thank you for your generous support!

Recipients are considered and chosen by the coaches each week. Students will be acknowledged each week throughout the season. Congratulations to this week's GMS Cross Country Bulldog Scholars: Nora Giannacopoulos and Kai Anand.
