"Help worthy students make a dream come true! Our fifth grade students are working hard to reach a collective goal. We are a Title One School, 90% qualifying for free and reduced lunch. Our theme is Where Dreams Come True, our students and parents are working to make a dream come true for our 5th grade students!

Our students have decided to collectively raise money this year for an overnight field trip to Walt Disney World! They are hard at work, selling cookie dough, hosting a yard sale, and hosting a walk-a-thon. The students are actively involved in advertising these events with posters and flyers. The students are determined to raise the money for this trip, that will reinforce so many skills and standards on the trip; the educational experiences are endless!

We are in desperate need of supplies such as poster board, markers, and glue to create various forms of advertisement for our fundraisers. Students are working during their recess time to make these items. This project will benefit our students because they are collectively working towards one goal, and they are actively involved in the decision making towards the fundraising opportunities.

At a Title One School, we emphasize students making their dreams come true. We realize that so many of our students have few long term goals or dreams for their lives. We are very excited about this experience for our students, an experience they are working to make happen!

My students need poster board, markers, and glue sticks.

Dear Paul and DeAnn and Warren Pfitzenmayer, 
I cannot thank you enough for funding our classroom project. It is great to see that you share my vision for making student's dreams come true. What an resource we have when we can provide every student an opportunity for success.

Again, I would like to thank you for helping us to raise our funds for our "Making Dreams Come True" trip to Walt Disney World. The resources you have provided will allow us to take our fundraising to the next level and allow the students to learn and earn at the same time.

With gratitude,
