8th Grade Candy Sale

It’s that time of year for the 8^th grade students to begin raising money for the eighth grade trip to San Francisco.  This is the trip of a lifetime and is full of exciting things to do and many interesting things to see.  However, this trip is very expensive and we ask that all 8^th graders help pay for their cost by selling candy and participating in various other fundraisers throughout the year.  The candy sale will begin Monday, October 10th and will conclude near the end of November. 

Please sign on the line provided below to indicate that you are aware of the candy sale and that your student has permission to be involved.  Students and their parents/legal guardian are responsible for all candy that is checked out to them and all the money that is collected in exchange for the candy.  It is the responsibility of the undersigned to replace the full value of the candy and money that is unaccounted for when the candy sale is completed.  Your cooperation is appreciated.

Thank you,

Es esa época del año para que los estudiantes de 8º grado comiencen a recaudar dinero para el viaje de 8vo grado a San Francisco. Este es el viaje de toda una vida y está lleno de cosas interesantes para hacer y muchas cosas interesantes para ver. Sin embargo, este viaje es muy caro y pedimos que todos los estudiantes de 8vo grado ayuden a pagar su costo vendiendo dulces y participando en varios otros recaudadores de fondos durante todo el año. La venta de dulces comenzará el lunes, 10 de octubre y concluirá cerca de finales de noviembre.

Firme por favor en la línea proporcionada abajo para indicar que usted es consciente de la venta de dulces y que su estudiante tiene permiso para estar implicado. Los estudiantes y sus padres / guardianes son responsables de todos los dulces que se les registra y todo el dinero que se recolecta a cambio de los dulces.
