October 25, 2021 Class of 2023 Information
Dear Parent or Guardian of the Class of 2023:
Hello and welcome to your child's junior year! Kristy Simmons and I are the advisors for the Class of 2023. We are excited to work with the students to create some events that will always be remembered, even if they look a little different than they have in the past. These events are funded by class dues, our fundraising efforts, and by attendance fees for various events. In order to secure prom locations and support future endeavors, we need to begin collecting class dues now.
During freshman and sophomore year, we were unable to fundraise much due to the pandemic and fundraising restrictions. As you have hopefully seen in a previous communication, this year we are currently running a shoe drive (shoes can be placed in the bin by the tiger door) and a fundraiser through Boon Supply, 40% of the sales goes directly to the class of 2023. We are looking forward to holding additional events this year, and hope your child can be a part of them.
We are now beginning to collect class dues. Class dues are paid one time at any point that your child will be at Daniel Hand. The total amount due before graduation is $70 but you may pay any portion of this amount, or pay in full, at any time. Due to fundraising restrictions, we are asking that if you are able, you consider making an additional donation to the Class of 2023 in the amount of $10, $20, or $30 dollars. Please note that there is a $0.35 fee for e-check payments or a 4% fee for credit card transactions.
Class dues should be paid electronically through Infinite Campus. Go to "Fees," then click "Make a payment" and follow the instructions on the screen to pay "Class Dues." You will see a required payment of $70 for class dues, as well as three optional payments. We truly appreciate any support you can make above the required amount, but we also understand how significant the financial impact of the pandemic has been for some families. With that in mind, if you need financial assistance for the required portion, please contact Mr. Salutari at salutaria@madison.k12.ct.us. If you need support with Infinite Campus, you may contact Sue Evans at evanss@madison.k12.ct.us or (203) 245-6350.
We have some ideas for virtual fundraisers, are open to ideas for fundraising, and can always use more support for organizing events. Please contact us- mcgradyc@madison.k12.ct.us or simmonsk@madison.k12.ct.us with any questions or suggestions. Thank you for your support!
Respectfully,
Carly McGrady & Kristy Simmons
