Sponsors, donors sought for R-W 8th grade 'DC' golf outing

The Rolland-Warner Washington, DC, Committee, in collaboration with Devil’s Ridge Golf Course and Metamora Country Club, is hosting a Golf Outing on July 23 to raise funds for our 8th grade students attending their Washington, DC, Field Trip in early November of 2011. The outing begins at 12:30 p.m. with a shotgun start at 2 p.m.

Parents, teachers, and community members have come together to raise funds for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these 8th graders to go to Washington DC and to be part of their curriculum. The decision was made to move the Washington, DC, Field Trip to November, rather than the spring, so these young people can have deeper understanding and prior knowledge through hands-on learning experiences in Washington, DC. However, that shortened the time these young people have to fundraise and pay for their trip. They need your help to make this fundraiser successful.

Donations in the form of merchandise, gift cards, etc. are being collected for the silent auction and prizes for the golfers. The donations will make it possible for more than 160 participants to attend their Washington, DC, Field Trip and touch many young adults’ lives!

Sponsors also can contribute at levels ranging from $100 to $550 in exchange for a wonderful advertising opportunity for their businesses, a tax deduction, and the knowledge of helping local youth attend this awesome once in a lifetime opportunity of going to Washington DC and actually being part of their 8th grade curriculum!

All donations will be tax deductible and accompanied by a receipt, if requested, not to mention the advertising received through a donation. All businesses that donate items will be listed in the program, which will be handed out to approximately 300 golfers, more than 600 school employees and the more than 160 field trip participants and their families!

Thank you for supporting your local youth!

For details, please contact Anne Prill at 810 931-9852 or via email at aprill@lapeerschools.org.

Chalk, books and exercise cap off the year at Lynch

Lynch Elementary students had a busy day June 3 as they demonstrated some sidewalk creativity, picked up some books for summer reading and -- for the fifth graders -- got in a little exercise.

Students in all grades particiapted in the chalk drawing contest sponored by the Lapeer Rebeckahs, turning the west side of the school yard into a gallery of visual delights.

At the same time, the PTC sponosred Book Sale was set up under a tent at the front of the school, drawing both students and their parents to some fine book bargains.

The bright sunny day also gave the 5th graders another chance to put in some laps on the athletic field out back. Throughout the school year the older students have been improving their fitness through their running club.

The Book Sale was a big success, which contributed to the PTC's funds for speical projects at the school.

This year's Walk-a-Thon in the fall raised more than $3,000 for the PTC funds, with the help of a long list of sponsores, including Kohl's, Columbiaville Flea Market, Hofman Shoes, Phil’s Tractor Repair, Delynn's Designs, Dinius Trucking, Farm House Family Eatery, Lee's Auto Repair, M3 Graphix, Tattoos At The Red Room, Use It Again Tools, Whispering Pines Adult Foster Care Home, Marz Food Service, Minkler Electric, Alaura's Portrait, Chilly Cow, Kaye Financial, Lapeer Sound Machine DJ Service, Mark Johnson Builder, Michaud Bookeeping, Outback Nails and Tanning, Performance Horses, Side Tracks Bar and Grill, Smith Refrigeration, Thorpe Animal Hospital, Wooden Nickel and Silver Screen.
