Hello Parents and Families!
We are excited to offer a way to give back to TRI-POINT UE/JH! On
9/26/2022 we will be kicking off an event to help raise funds that will benefit all ofour students and staff. Our GameOn! program, will help with funding. In additionto: New technology, curriculum enhancements, and new Physical Education materials.
It is going to be AWESOME; we are excited to get started!
A few things to note:
• This program will be very easy for you. It only requires about 10 minutes of
your time.
• Your students can earn great rewards, just for their effort. No money required!
• This is an online, donation-based fundraiser, and the email and text message
donation requests can go to people you know anywhere in the world. That
means no direct pressure on your shoulders.
Students will be bringing home more information next week after our Launch
Party presentation. Please help your student register and complete the Golden
Ticket assignment THAT VERY NIGHT! All students who complete the Golden
Ticket assignment will receive fun PRIZES and it does not require any money to
register. We will also have some fun drawings for a $250 Amazon Gift Card and
four Mini Party Fridges stuffed with CASH!
I will be sending a few more emails throughout the two-week program. Please
contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your
support!
Sincerely,
Mr. Schmale
