Edgewood City School Families,
Edgewood Middle School has a great contactless fundraiser taking place right now. The goal is $60,000 in total sales. If the students reach this goal, I will pack all my gear and camp out on the roof of the building for the night. If they hit $70,000 in total sales, I will pick the top seller to shave my head during a zoom meeting with all the students during 7th Bell. I will also Facebook Live this event for all to see and enjoy.
Here is the website and my seller ID:
https://store.midwestfundraising.com/BTEMSV20
Seller ID: 49198011
If you don't want to use mine, find a middle school student who is selling and use their Seller ID. Either way, it helps EMS and gets us one step closer to our goal of $60,000 in total sales.
The last day for this fundraiser is Wednesday, December 9th. Help us reach our goal. If everyone does a little, it becomes a lot.
Thank you for your support,
Jim Dallio
Principal
