More about costs and fundraising
The overall cost of E-Camp is $365 per child, including the $80
deposit which was due October 31, 2008. In order to defray the cost for all
children and provide additional assistance to families for whom this may be a
hardship, fifth grade families, independent of the PTO, have organized
a series of fundraisers to occur throughout the year. (see column at
right) The major fundraiser this year (expected to raise at least $7,000) will
be the dinner/dance held on March 7, 2009. If you are willing to work
on the dance, to donate goods or services for raffle/auction, or would
like to buy tickets (not yet available), please contact either Carla Francazio or Janet Morris.
Please send us your pictures from past Hoover E-Camp trips -- we'll post them here. Thanks! |
