Hello Bulldog Parents. I’m LaTrice Ferguson and I am your Class Rep for the Next 4 years. I will coordinate socials and fundraising efforts for our kiddos and be our voice on the PTO Board. Thursday November 16th is our next Waiver Day, which is an opportunity for our class to raise money for the many Senior Year Activities by selling items at lunch time. We will be selling fun and festive baked goods. We raised $200 on our first waiver day in October from donated items from Freshman families and would like to improve on that amount. The key seems to be keeping overhead costs low. If you would like to donate towards items to sell please Venmo to @Latrice-Ferguson (8135) to help contribute to our class funds. If you would like to be involved in any other way or have some good ideas for fun items to sell in our remaining 3 Waiver Days, please email me at 2027@heightspto.org.
