Class of 2027 Activities & Culmination Fund

At Friends of Short Avenue, we believe our students’ final year of elementary school should be filled with memorable experiences, joyful celebrations, and meaningful milestones. Our 5th Grade Activities & Culmination Fundraiser helps make that possible by supporting the special events and traditions that celebrate our graduating 5th graders.

We are asking families for a suggested contribution of $125 per student, payable in one payment or through monthly installments.

Funds will support:

• Culmination
• 5th Grade Dance
• Field Day
• Class T-shirts
• Stained Glass Legacy Project in our edible garden

A portion will also go toward Teacher & Aide gifts for Winter Holiday, Teacher Appreciation, and End of Year. Our hope is that collecting these contributions once for the entire school year makes things simpler for families.

We understand that every family’s financial circumstances are different. The $125 is a suggested contribution, and we welcome whatever amount feels comfortable—whether that’s more, less, or the full amount. Every child will have the same opportunity to participate, regardless of their family’s ability to contribute.

Pay It Forward: If you’re able to contribute more than $125, you can add an additional amount to help offset the cost for another student.

Family & Friends: Please feel free to share this link with grandparents, extended family, and loved ones who may wish to contribute to your child’s 5th Grade Activities.

Please include your child’s name in the Notes section with every payment so we can accurately track contributions.

Thank you for helping us make this a meaningful, joyful, and memorable final year at Short Avenue for our 5th graders!
