Dear Flinn Families,
Flinn Middle School will be holding a Winter Fundraiser from February 9–20 featuring a Laundry Soap Fundraiser. Items available for purchase include laundry detergent, dishwasher pods, scent beads, and more.
Students will receive fundraiser information during their 8th hour class, and order forms will be sent home so they can begin selling. Families are encouraged to support their students by sharing the fundraiser with friends and relatives.
To motivate participation, prizes will be awarded to students. The top three student sellers will each receive a $50 Amazon gift card.
All completed order forms and payments are due by February 20 and should be returned to the school with your student.
Thank you for your continued support of Flinn Middle School and our students. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ms. Kiara Brandon.
