Boston Fundraiser

Dear Families,

Today your child received their Dan's Chocolate Fundraiser forms. For this
fundraiser, we will get 40% of how much we sell. Students will get 90% of
the profit to go towards their Boston Fundraising Account. Therefore if
your student sells $100 worth of chocolate, the profit the school gets is
$40. Your student would get 90% of the $40 which mean $36 will go into
their field trip account. The other 10% will go towards students who help
out with fundraising in other ways.

If your student's advisory has 100% participation, they will get an ice
cream party. The top selling advisory as determined by the total amount
raised and then divided by the total number of students in the advisory,
will get a pizza party.

To participate please fill out order forms entering the person's name and
the flavor and quantity of the bags of chocolate they want. After you are
finished selling, please fill out totals. DO NOT CUT OFF THE BOTTOM,
please turn the whole form in with the envelope given, with your student's
name and advisor's name. All forms need to be in by Monday, October 14th.

If you have any questions, please contact Joe Smith at jsmith3@mtsd-vt or
893-3215 ext. 1239.

Northern Lights Field Trip

House D has scheduled a field trip to Northern Lights Rock and Ice on Wednesday, October 16. We will spend the day under the guidance of the staff of NLRI, as we meet the challenges of their ropes course and climbing walls. The purpose of this trip is to strengthen our teamwork, support each other as we challenge ourselves, and to have fun together. This is a special opportunity we don’t get every year.

We will be leaving the school at 8:30 A.M. and will be returning at approximately 2:30 P.M. Bus transportation is provided. Supervision will be by teachers and staff members. Your student's share of the cost of the trip, $25, is due before Friday, October 4. Make checks payable to Milton Middle School. If paying the full cost is a financial hardship, please consider paying what you can, and requesting a scholarship to cover the balance.

Please read the packet of information that students received today and return all forms no later than Friday, October 4.

Please make sure you read, sign, and return:

• Permission Form

Boston Field Trip

Dear Families,

At the end of your student's middle school experience, he or she will have
the opportunity to participate in the 8th grade field trip to Boston.
This field trip is three days and two nights and for many students it is
the highlight of their middle school years. During this trip, students
get to witness the culture of Boston, visit a few of Boston's best
museums, and they get to stay at Emerson College. This is a unique
opportunity that every student should experience. In order to make this
trip affordable for all families, we offer numerous fundraisers throughout
the school year. Each student is given a field trip account. Students
earn money for this account by fundraising. This money will be put
towards the cost of the Boston trip and can also be used to fund other
school based field trips as well. I have created these accounts so that
students can earn their trip to Boston. This year the cost of the trip is
$325, if your students participates in a couple of fundraisers each year,
they will not have to fund raise all of the money during 8th grade.

For 8th and 7th Graders, your student will be getting a summary of their
account on Monday.

Tentative list of this year's fundraisers:

September – PTA Fundraiser – If your student participates, 50% of the
profits from their orders will go towards Boston.
October – Dan's Chocolates
November – Thanksgiving Pie Sale
November – Dan's Holiday Cards, create your own custom cards for the
holidays
December – February – Calendar Raffle
March – Spaghetti Dinner
April – Fire Truck Pull
