See the request for fundraisers for BPE to benefit the Spring Musical Program.

Dear Board Members,

I am seeking your approval for two fundraisers to benefit the BPE Spring Musical fund (Activity Fund). Since COVID, we are still trying to recoup lost funds from canceled productions. This year we were able to purchase the license for a show, but we have no additional funds available for assisting students with costume and prop purchases. With the additional fundraiser, we are sure it will be enough to support our program as well as our students.

The first is a Penny Wars fundraiser that will begin Tuesday, Feb 21st (pending your approval) and will run until Wednesday March 1st.

The students will be able to vote for which teacher they would like to see dress up as an Oompa Loompa for a school day, and funds raised will help us to purchase costumes, props, and set pieces for our upcoming show, Willy Wonka Jr.

The second fundraiser will be a candy/snack sales fundraiser. This fundraiser would begin Monday, March 13th and end Friday, March 24th.

We would like to purchase Hershey chocolate bars and small bags of chips to sell as Wonka bars and Wonka chips to students and staff before school. All snacks will have a Wonka wrapper and a select few will secretly have golden tickets under the label for students to win prizes like eating lunch with a teacher or a backstage pass to our performance. Thank you for your continued guidance and support of our school district and the arts!

See attached fundraiser requests for CLE PTO.
