It's official!  Our 2007-2008 Education First fundraiser was kicked-off with an exciting rally for the students on September 12th!  The kids are pumped up and ready to get their names into the drawing for the grand prize which this year is a Wii game system!!!!  Here's how it works; students were provided an Education First red handbook which included the Education First Assistant CD.  The book explains in detail the purpose and goals of the fundraiser along with sample letters to assist the students.  We ask that each family send out a minimum of 5 letters or contacts to people they know asking for support of their school.  For every 5 contacts made, their family name will be placed in the year end drawing for the Wii.  We will be giving away other prizes as well throughout the year to help encourage the students to participate.  And as we have mentioned before, 100% of the proceeds we make from our fundraiser go directly to St. Stephen School to help educate our children.  We are asking that everyone please participate since all students benefit from this fundraiser.  Last year we had under 25% family participation and we raised nearly $20,000.00.  Just think what we could do for our children if we all pitched in!  Please, consider joining our efforts in making this the best year ever for Education First!
