Re: 5th grade fund raiser funds

[John R. Lenz]

Hello Sagamore Foundation: the 5th grade funds that were raised when my son was in that grade three years ago have not been spent.

I think the best idea now is to help with the launch of the Sagamore Foundation by giving that money to the foundation for start-up costs, etc.

What’s the best way for Suzi to get you the money?

Thank you!

-John

Hi John,

Thank you! I am the treasurer and will gladly take the money. We don't have online payment capability yet, but can take cash or check (made payable to Sagamore Hills Foundation). I can coordinate the transfer with Suzi. 

Thanks again!!

Fantastic, thank you Kristie. I believe each year the 5th grade ends up with funds and then a debate begins about what to do with them.

I think a systematic approach/goal in the future should be to raise those funds for the Foundation, as it will have lasting effects on the school and community.
