There are so many amazing things happening at MAES this week, that I can't seem to keep up with the blog updates! On Wednesday and Thursday our Pre-K classes were given the opportunity to participate in such a wonderful fundraiser put on by the 2nd graders and their teachers.
As many of you may know, from the note that was sent home previously, the 2nd graders are hosting a fundraiser to show sympathy for Colby firefighter, Jamison Kampmeyer's family, after he lost his life fighting the Abby Theater fire. Since the all school event is on Friday, when Pre-K doesn't have school, Mrs. Klingbeil invited each Pre-K class down to her classroom for cookies and lemonade on a day that our students were here! Families were asked to pay for the number of cookies they'd like and for a glass of lemonade. If a child did not bring back a donation slip, they were still able to participate by choosing one cookie and a glass of lemonade.
A portion of the proceeds from this event will be given to the Kampmeyer family and the remainder will be donated to the Colby and Medford Fire Departments in Jamison's memory. This will be used for training and/or equipment to further the safety of our local heroes.
