8th Grade Boston Trip Update

Dear families,

Boston is fast approaching and we will be having a mandatory meeting on Tuesday, May 15th at 6:00 p.m.  At this meeting we will go over student expectations and what each student needs to bring on the trip.

This Friday, May 4th, we will be having a dance from 6:45 to 9:00.  We hope that your student can attend.  We are looking for students to bring in baked good to sell at the dance.

On Saturday, May 5th, we will be having a car wash from 10:00 - 1:00 at the Four Seasons across the road from the Middle School.

Remember that each student need to complete 3 fund raisers.

Unfortunately, we were not able to raise enough money to see Shear Madness.  So we will be going to the Institute for Contemporary Arts instead.

Carnival and Fire Truck Pull - April 14

Dear Families of Milton Middle School Students,

The third annual Fire Truck Pull and Carnival is happening on April 14th, from 10:00 – 2:00, to benefit the 8th grade trip to Boston. There are many activities planned including carnival games, crafts, music, and food. We are looking for Fire Truck Pull Teams and craft vendors.

If you and nine of your friends or co-worker are feeling strong, create a team to pull a fire truck. To participate in the pull each team needs to raise at least $100. There will be trophies awarded for the fastest pull by a team that is under 18, fastest pull by a team over 18 and the most money raised. The team that raises the most money will also be awarded 10 vouchers for 6” subs from Subway. If you are interested in putting together a team please contact Amira Bakr at 893-3230 ext. 678 or abakr@mtsd-vt.org.

If you are crafty and you would like to sell your crafts, we are selling table space at $30 per booth. You will get to keep all of your profits from the sale of your items. If you are interested or know someone who may be interested, please contact, Joe Smith at jsmith3@mtsd-vt.org or call at 893-3230 ext. 217 by April 6th.

To make this day a success, we are looking for parents and other adults to help us. We will be in need of adults to help cook. If you can assist, please fill out the form below and return it to your student's Advisory Teacher or email me.

Please contact us if you have any other questions at abakr@mtsd-vt.org or jsmith3@mtsd-vt.org or (802)-893-3230 ext 217.

We highly appreciate your help and hope to see you at the carnival!

Sincerely,

Pizza Fundraiser

Dear Families,

I want to thank everyone who came out and supported our students at the spaghetti dinner and the played.  We raised $932 for the trip to Boston meaning we have less the $5,000 to raise.

Spaghetti Dinner 2/23

Dear Families,

This is to remind you that the Spaghetti Dinner will be February 23rd from 5:00 - 7:00 followed by the Phantom Tollbooth at 7:00. The cost of the dinner is by donation and the Phantom Tollbooth is $5.00. You do not need to go to both.

In order to make this dinner successful, WE NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT and encourage people to attend. Please spread the word at your place of worship, around town, at work, etc. The more people we can get to come the better. Because everything is donated, all of the money raised goes directly to the Boston trip.

We are looking for the following items to be donated.

Parmesan Cheese
Salad Dressing
Salad Ingredients
Drink Mix
Baked goods for dessert
Bread

If you make a donation and/or your child helps out at the dinner this will count towards one of their 3 fund raisers.

Thanks,
Joe Smith
