8th Grade Boston Update
Dear Parents/Guardians,
This is a reminder that the second installment of $25 for the Boston trip is due on January 20th.
I also wanted to give you a quick update on our fundraising efforts. As of today, we have raised over $12,000. However we still have a little over $15,000 to go, so we need to continue the good effort in raising the funds to ensure that we are able to go on this trip. We are currently selling the tickets for the Calendar Raffle. We will also be doing a bottle drive after the weekend of the Super Bowl and a Spaghetti Dinner, which the date is still to be determined. Please remember that each student does need to participate in at least three fundraisers or sell 20 calendar raffle tickets.
There has also been a change to the itinerary for the Boston trip. Blue Man Group was sold out and therefore we will be going to see Sheer Madness instead, which is a comedy whodunit, where the audience is part of the show.
As a reminder, the date for the field trip is from May 23-25, 2012. You can pay the remainder of your balance at any time. The third installment of $25 will be due February 24th and the final installment will be due April 6th. A full refund will be offered until April 1st. No student will be denied going on this trip because of financial concerns. If you need a scholarship, please let us know.
Below is the tentative itinerary for Boston:
May 23 7:00 a.m. Leave Milton Middle School
11:00 a.m. Arrive at Emerson College
1:00 p.m. Go to Museum of Science
5:00 p.m. Pizza at Emerson College
8:00 p.m. Sheer Madness
May 24 Small group exploration of Boston: Students will break into groups of 8-10 and visit different museums, such as the Mass Museum of Art, Franklin Zoo, Fenway Park, etc., based on their interests. Do you have any info about dinner that night – will this be on the students?
May 25 9:00 a.m. Leave Emerson College, walk Freedom Trail, eat lunch at Faneuil Hall
1:00 p.m. Boat cruise of Boston Harbor
3:00 p.m. Leave Boston
7:00 p.m. Arrive back in Milton

Boston Update and Calendar Raffle
Dear Families,
This year, we have been doing a great job on fundraising for Boston. Thanks to the work that you all have done, we are in the best position financially that we have ever been in. We only need to raise $18,000 more. As you may know, we have just started the Calendar Raffle. Since the calendar raffle is put together all by donated items, we get 100% of the profit. This means if each student in the middle school sells five, we could earn approximately $15,000. That would put us very close to our goal.
Before I explain the raffle, I just wanted to acknowledge that we raised over $900 with the candle fundraiser. I want to publicly thank Paula Cary and Aneita Menard for putting this together. We are hoping to get the candles out to students before break.
Details on the Calendar Raffle
How the calendar works
+ They cost $10
+ A winner is drawn for each day in February
+ If you win, your name gets put back in the drawing
+ There are over $1000 worth of prizes and each day is at least a $40 value
What do the students need to do?
+ Get the calendars and raffle tickets from their advisory teacher.
+ Sell the calendars, student receives $10 and gets the red ticket with the name and phone number, the customer keeps the calendar and the lower portion of the red ticket.
+ The student the money and the tickets to their advisory teacher.
+ Any unsold calendars are returned to the advisory teacher.
Incentives
+ Top advisory gets a ice cream party
+ Top seller gets 2 tickets for the new water park at Jay Peak
+ Any one who sells 10 tickets gets a pizza party and a movie
The calendar raffle was put together by Michelle Anemikos and Heidi Slayton. They really put a lot of time and effort into this project. Please thank them the next time you see them.
I appreciate the hard work that everyone has put in and I can guarantee that your student will have an unforgetable time in Boston. This will be a trip that they will remember the rest of their lives.
Thanks,
Joe Smith

Prior to February, people will buy a calendar and during each day of the month they will have a chance to win a prize. We already have movie tickets and a couple of Vermont Teddy Bears. We have already asked several local businesses to donate to this raffle. We know that we have many awesome parents who work at some very cool places and we are wondering if your place of employment will would consider donating to our cause. If you have something to offer, please contact Michelle Anemikos at 893-4547 or anemikos@comcast.net or contact Heidi Slayton at sherw05468@comcast.net or contact me at 893-3230 ext. 217 or jsmith3@mtsd-vt.org.
Middle School Dance Friday
This Friday is the Middle School Halloween Dance, from 6:45-9:00. It is $3.00 with costume, $5.00 without. Because of the football game, students should be dropped off at the back of the school, where the buses drop off and pick up students, and enter at the back door. Once inside the dance, students are not allowed to leave the dance until 9:00, unless they are being picked up early by an adult. All proceeds will go towards the Milton Middle School Boston Trip.
THANK YOU! Boston Fundraising Update
The Tag Sale was a big success. We raised $1228.50 from the tag sale itself. We also got a $1,000 grant from the The Redducs Foundation. The grant was a very pleasant surprise.
I would like to thank all of you who help out. Whether it was through donating items, working at the storage unit, baking goods, setting up, or taking down, without you this event would not have been a success.
I would also like to thank ACE Storage in Milton who so kindly donated their space to hold the goods for our tag sale. I would recommend that you would support them for your storage needs.
Schwan's raised just over $1,000.
We are now have $23,000 to fundraise.
Thanks!

Huge Tag Sale to Support Boston Trip
Dear Parents,
Follow the Mitlon Middle School Boston Trip on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Milton-Middle-School-Boston-Trip/
On Saturday, October 22nd, we will be holding a tag sale at the Milton Middle School from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. This will be in conjunction with Milton Elementary School's Team Expedition's tag sale being held at the Elementary School. The idea is to create a "Come to Milton" campaign to visit our two gigantic tag sales. Here is how you can help.
1) Clean out your house, garage, shed, barn, closet, attic, car, office etc. and donate any gently-used goods to the tag sale. Items can be dropped off at Ace Storage, Unit # 14 on Landfill Road in Milton. People will be there to collect goods on:
Wednesday, October 12th from 4:00 pm. - 7:00 pm.
Saturday, October 15th from 9:00 am. - 1:00 pm.
Wednesday, October 19th from 9:00 am. - 1:00 pm.
You can also drop goods off at the school on October 22nd from 7:00 am. - 10:00 pm.
If these times do no work for you please contact me, Joe Smith, at 893-3230 ext. 217 or email jsmith3@mtsd-vt.org to make alternative arrangements.
2) Help collect donations at Ace Storage at the above times. We need someone to unlock the unit and be there while people bring their items.
3) Help set up the day of the tag sale. Set up will take place from 6:30 am – 9:00 pm. We will be looking for a truck to help move the goods from the storage unit to the school.
4) Help break down the tag sale. Breakdown will be from 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm.
5) Bake delicious food. Please drop off at the school on the 22nd between 8:30 am and 12:00 pm.
6) Spread the word. Let your family members, friends, and co-workers know about the tag sale. Post on Facebook, Tweet, or any other place where people will see it. Encourage them to donate goods and to shop on the 22nd. One person's refuse is another person's treasure.
7) Shop at the tag sale and find all those hidden treasure.
Please remember that we are asking all 8th grade families to participate in at least three fundraisers. Here is an excellent opportunity for you to participate for those of you who are not comfortable going door-to-door selling items.
Please contact me to let me know how you can help.
Thanks,
Joe Smith
