6th Grade Carnival Banner

Please help us celebrate our 6th Graders! Consider making a donation of $32 for the class of 2032!

Our amazing 6th graders are officially heading to middle school, and we want to send them off with a bang! To celebrate this huge milestone, we’re planning an unforgettable carnival filled with food, games, entertainment, and custom class t-shirts.

 

Because this celebration is entirely community-funded, we need your help to make the magic happen!

 

 The "Class of 2032" Challenge

 

In honor of their graduation year, we are inviting families and friends to consider a $32 donation for the Class of 2032!

 

Of course, whether it’s $5 or $50, every single dollar goes directly toward giving these students a well-deserved celebration.


 How You Can Help:

  1. Donate: Use the QR code or visit our website to contribute.
  2. Spread the Word: Share this post on social media!
  3. Tag a Friend: Forward the website to family and friends who might want to support our 6th graders.

Let’s come together to make this milestone truly special for our students. Thank you for your incredible generosity!

FNL Opportunity for Rising 6th Grade Parents! 


We have an opportunity to help fund the 2027 6th Grade carnival, but we need a leader to make it happen!
The Friday Night Live! Glow Stick Program is a great way to make money for next year, but we need a parent (or a small group of friends) to step up and "lead the charge" as coordinator.


The Coordinator’s Role:
●     Organize the Schedule: Build a volunteer calendar for Friday nights (May 22–Sept 4.)They are asking us to send available dates and will coordinate with other participating groups.


●     Recruit Teams: Ensure at least two teams of volunteers are ready for each shift.


●     Low Stress: Friday Night Live provides all the inventory, aprons, and change—you just provide the people!

Interested? Email president@dranesvillepta.com.
