🌟 Raise Craze Kindness Challenge! 🌟

We’ve officially wrapped up Week 1 of our Raise Craze fundraiser—great job, everyone! 🎉 But we’re not done yet… we still have TWO more weeks to spread kindness and make a difference!

💚 This weekends challenge:
Grab some gloves and a trash bag and pick up garbage in your neighborhood or at a local park. It’s a simple act of kindness that makes a BIG impact on our community! 🌎✨

📸 Don’t forget to snap a picture and log your act of kindness in your Raise Craze account!

Haven’t registered yet? There’s still time!
Sign up today and jump in—we’d love to have everyone involved as we finish strong!

Let’s keep the momentum going and show how powerful kindness can be! 💪💚

Grant Park families—it’s time to kick off our Raise Craze fundraiser, where we focus on something truly meaningful: KINDNESS!

Instead of selling items, students will complete Acts of Kindness (AOK) for others while collecting donations. It’s a fun and powerful way to teach our kids gratitude, generosity, and how to make a difference in their community.

✨ Our goal: $10,000 to support classroom supplies, playground improvements, and student programs!

📅 April 10 – May 1
💻 Register here: raisecraze.com/join
🔑 School Code: 359-584

🎯 Students will complete kindness challenges, earn prizes, and even help their class win rewards!

Let’s come together as a community to spread kindness and support our school—we can’t wait to see all the good our students will do! 💫

Let’s talk GOALS & CAUSES! As we mentioned before, we are always trying to make Grant Park Schools an even better place, and that takes all of us working together to raise money. We are hoping to raise $10000 for:

- Classroom Supplies & Teacher Grants
- Ongoing Playground Fund and Outdoor Improvements
- Scholarships, Student Programs & Experiences

We can’t do it without your support!
