Fundraising Events
We hope you agree that this is a special opportunity for all of our students at Poinsettia. There are different ways that we can raise the funds together, as a team, to see that every student has the opportunity to participate. At Poinsettia we believe in the principle that “ALL students attend, with no student left behind”. Through parent donations towards the full trip cost, to encouraging friends and family to participate in fundraisers, to volunteering to work at a fundraiser, to soliciting donations of items or money for events, we can work together to make this endeavor successful.
Fundraising requires A LOT of help. We must have a solid committee of parent helpers, so please contact Shannon Fredericks or Ann Gerk at PoinsettiaOutdoorEd@gmail.com.

Fundraising, Fundraising, and More Fundraising: There will be many fundraising opportunities to help us raise the funds. Some of those opportunities are: Movie Nights, School Dances, Dining with Lions, Poinsettia Plant Sale and more! Please help support your school and Outdoor Ed by participating in all of the events. Every little bit helps!
Soliciting Donors: It is believed that heart felt letters written by the students speak volumes. One project the students will be doing is writing letters to employers, churches, friends, family, and local entities to gain sponsors. Please help your student identify potential donors that would be touched and willing to support your student and the Outdoor Ed program. For example, Amgen will match dollar for dollar for their employee’s students. We encourage your family to explore this option with friends, family and employers.
