Attention FoJo Families
In the
coming weeks, we will be working on a fund-raising project called Kids for Wish Kids®. This project is designed to raise funds for
the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of South
Carolina. The
Make-A-Wish Foundation® is a non-profit organization that grants wishes to
children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human
experience with hope, strength and joy.
Here at Fort
Johnson, we have adopted
a local five year old girl with Leukemia whose wish is to visit Disney World.
Please
help us with the Kids for Wish Kids Program® by showing support for
our upcoming fundraiser. The schedule of
fundraising events is as follows:
- March 8 –
12: “Star Wars” and FoJo Share-The-Power Bracelets: Stars will be sold for
$.25 each during lunch and strung in each grade wing for a star wars
competition. Blue bracelets will
also be sold during lunch for $1.00 each.
- March 22 –
26: Baked goods week: Baked goodies
will be sold during lunches
- April 12 –
16: Coin Drives: FoJo will join schools across South Carolina to collect coins to
contribute to our adopted child’s wish.
Top home room contributors will earn great
prizes, including pizza parties and a possible party at an upcoming Riverdogs
Game! If you have any questions, or
would like to make a tax deductible donation, please contact me at 762-5541 or Erica_ciucci@ccsdschools.com.
