• Every student and every parent/guardian will need to complete 2 volunteering “slots” in order to receive any of the group money raised. Clearly, we will need more than that to be successful!  There are also opportunities for individual fundraisers.  As outlined below, the 50/50 and the pie sale both have individual components and group components. 

     

    We have another fundraiser that could use a chair. SCRIPS gift cards. There are no fee cards, where the student/group gets a % back on each card. At the holidays some of the percentages are quite large.  It is an easy way to make money for your students. For example, some parents just buy themselves ShopRite cards, their child gets the percentage and then they buy groceries with the cards. The ordering is all done online, but we need a chair to coordinate and sort the gift cards each week. This is both individual and group fundraising. Please email us if interested.

     

    If you have questions about events, please reach out to the chair of that event and cc: bedminster2023@gmail.com on all correspondence.  Please do not email Dr. Omegna or the school for 8th-grade events. If you are chairing an event, all communication must go thru Melissa or Suzie.  For all money-related questions, please reach out to Mimi.  But again, all communication should include our bedminster2023@gmail.com email, and you can include our personal emails too.

     

    We also remind you that volunteering for 8th grade is separate from the community service required to graduate.  Those opportunities will not be anything communicated by us and will come thru school.   

     

    Please see the list below to volunteer, and be on the lookout for information for Fall Fest, and the Holiday Workshop, which requires many helpers.

     

    Looking forward to fun events for our kids over the coming year!  Please reach out to us with any questions!
