SUBJECT: Mid Month Memo-September

Volunteers Needed ASAP!

Needed now!

  1. Hype Squad! We’re looking for enthusiastic individuals or families to help create excitement for the Color Run and boost the final week of the fundraiser. You’ll hold up our signs during morning drop-off to spread the word. (A 15-20 minute commitment)

  2. Swag Bag Prep Squad! Help us prepare the Color Run Swag Bags, which include t-shirts and prizes for students. Due to the tight space and  complexity of the task, this activity is best suited for adults. It involves lifting boxes and lots of movement in an assembly line style. We always have a great time working together and getting to know one another!

If you’re interested in either opportunity, please [GO HERE] to sign up for the time slot that works best for you.


Needed September 27th! (Night of the Color Run)

  1. Color Run Event Squad! Help us make this year's Color Run a huge success! We have a variety of tasks available, including set-up, assisting during the run, clean-up, and of course, throwing color! Most volunteer shifts are short, so you’ll still have time to enjoy the event with your students. If you’re able to help, please [GO HERE] to sign up for the role that works best for you.

Color Run Fundraiser Update

You're doing an amazing job! THANK YOU!! We’ve raised $29,000 so far, but we haven't reached our second goal of $33,750 yet. However, we still have until midnight tomorrow (9/16) to get there! Once we hit the goal, several staff members will dye their hair and beards in FUNKYCOLORS, and we'll record the entire thing for you to watch. But first, we need to reach that goal! As of today, we're $4,750 away. So, keep sharing those campaigns!

Our final goal is $45,000 by 11:59 PM on Friday (9/20). Once we hit this target, Ms. Overton and Mr. Santella will take part in an EPIC LIP SYNC BATTLE in front of the entire school!

If you haven't already, please register [HERE] to receive a FREE t-shirt, join our Color Run celebration, and help us raise the funds needed to see these two PERFORM! (And just a friendly reminder… if we surpass our goal, we’ve got something EXTRA special planned for Mr. Shields… MUAH HA HA!) NOTE: Even if you don’t plan to run, register anyway, and your child will still get a FREE t-shirt.

"Where Do Our Funds Even Go?"

We are a 501(c)(3) organization, which means all donations are tax-deductible. You might be wondering why we fundraise and how your contributions make a difference at STEM Lab. We fundraise to support various initiatives and activities within our school community. [HERE] is a more detailed look at what our fundraising efforts accomplished last year and the impact they had on our community.
