Dear Mead Families,
 
It’s time to Dream Big and Achieve Bigger! From April 13th through May 1st, District 54 is officially kicking off our fundraising season to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
 
Our goal is to be the top fundraising feeder group in the district, and we need your help to get there! Here is how you and your student(s) can get involved:
 
  • Student Donations & Sales: We will have special sales in the cafeteria during lunch for students to purchase lollipops, freeze pops, and “M” snacks.
  • Tattoo a Teacher: Students can purchase temporary tattoos during lunch sales for a chance to “Tattoo a Teacher” during our walk-a-thon on May 8th!
  • Silent Auction: We have some incredible items up for grabs, including a Boomer’s Suite, “Principal for the Day,” and gift cards to local favorites like Raising Cane’s.
Every dollar raised helps ensure that no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Let’s show the power of our Mead community! Thank you for your continued support. Go Mustangs!
 
Sincerely,
Mead Student Ambassadors
