Dear Art, Band & Drama Families,
As the school year begins, it’s time to kick off our one and only fundraiser for the year! Our InstaRaise donation campaign will launch on September 30th, and the best part is—it’s all online! By starting early, we avoid fundraising fatigue and ensure success.
Our goal is to raise $10,000 to support the need for supplies. Every student benefits from the resources provided, and reaching this goal will require us all working together.
How parents can help their student start fundraising
- Parents can help students have success on our fundraiser via our website, www.instaraise.com and REGISTER with our campaign ID.
Art ID: 20731
Drama ID: 20737
Band/Choir ID: 20733
This will create a custom fundraising website that is personalized for your student. - Follow the InstaRaise registration prompts and add a selfie, set your goal and add your contacts name, email and phone (family, friends, coworkers, etc.). The contacts that you enter will receive an email asking them to support your student and our fundraiser. If you’d like to follow up with a text, the InstaRaise dashboard has some great texting tools. You’ll also receive a personal link to share on social media.
- Help your student to complete the attached supporters list. Students who bring in their supporters list with 10 supporters will earn [a collectible incentive], with more rewards at 15 and 20.
Additional incentives include:
- Students who raise $25 will earn candy and prizes.
- $100 raised = invite to Ice Cream Party
- $250 raised = invite to Wrap Pizza & Ice Cream Party
- Businesses can sponsor $250+ donation and receive recognition in all event programs (Fall Arts Festival Programs, Concerts, Plays).
TIP: Don’t forget to download the InstaRaise app from the App store to easily import your contacts from your phone. Let’s work together to hit our goal and make this year a success!

Food Policy
Stingray families — Parents will not be permitted to drop off food from outside sources to their student during the school day. This includes all fast food/restaurant meals.

Information Changes
It is imperative that parents call the school to change home phone numbers, cell numbers, work numbers and email addresses as soon as they are changed. In an emergency situation, it is difficult to contact parents when the information provided is not correct. Please contact Ms. Greve with changes.

Per district policy, all 7th grade students are required to submit an updated DH 680 form to include Tdap prior to the start of 7th grade.
