Hello Center 1 and Middle Schools!

My school is preparing for the biggest fundraiser of the year! My school is having a "Spirit Week" where people can dress up, earn privileges, and possibly, at the end of the week, will see their teachers shave their heads!

My Student Council is having a "Spirit Week" to raise funds for the charity Alternatives in Motion. We are having dress up days: DECADES DAY [dress up as a person from your choice of decade (50s, 60s, 70s, etc)]; MOVIE/TV CHARACTER DAY (dress up as your favorite character); WACKY/CRAZY DAY (dress backwards, wear funny hat, wild hair, etc.); PAJAMA DAY (wear your pajamas); and SPIRIT DAY (dress in school colors).

One of the strong points of working with Alternatives in Motion this school year and in the past is that they work so well with local communities. If there is a need in your community - someone needs mobility assistance, they work closely with the school to fundraise and promote events. This is a wonderful way to raise money because the schools know where the money is going and they can see it firsthand. For us here on staff at MASC/MAHS, we've always worked with the Charity of the Year in a very different way. We facilitate the process between them and the member schools. This year, something happened that allowed us a unique interaction with our Charity of the Year, Alternatives in Motion. Below is a letter I wrote to the staff of Alternatives in Motion (AIM) today...
