Annual Appeal Update
CBHS Families have raised nearly $6,500 towards our goal of $20,000 for the Annual Appeal!!! Wahoo! This annual fundraiser supports important stuff like Winter and Spring Intensives, CBHS Scholarships, needed upgrades for school equipment, and innovative new programs developed by CBHS faculty and students.
The second part of the campaign, the Family and Friends Appeal, begins this month. Look for the fundraising packets coming home from crew during the week of May 20th. Each student in every CBHS crew will receive 2 copies of the fundraising brochure to mail to family and friends – like grandparents, aunts and uncles, neighbors or colleagues – people you think would like to support our students and our Expeditionary Learning program. More news next week!
P.S. to CBHS Families: There is still time to donate to the campaign (and receive your CBHS bumper sticker!). Thank you! Two easy ways to give:
- Send your check, made payable to “CBHS Parent Advisory Group,” to CBHS, 196 Allen Avenue, Portland, 04103, OR
- Visit http://cbhs.portlandschools.org and click Give to CBHS to contribute securely using PayPal.
All contributions are confidential and tax-deductible through the PAG 501©3. 100 percent of the funds raised go to support CBHS programming.
Project Grad and Hannaford Gift Cards
We will run the Hannaford gift card fundraiser for Project Graduation one more time this spring. For every $1000 in gift cards that we purchase, Hannaford gives us an extra 5% back, which will be
used for Project Graduation. If you already shop at Hannaford, this is an easy way to help fund Project Graduation.
You can purchase a new card, or recharge an existing one. The minimum amount is $50, with higher amounts in increments of $25, and the maximum is $500 per card — if you send more than $500, you will get multiple cards.
If you would like to participate, please write a check payable to CBHS PAG for the gift card amount that you want. To recharge an existing card, please write your current card number on your check, and include your e-mail address so that I can notify you by e-mail once the funds have been added to your card. If you are getting a new card, I will send it to you by US Mail once I have received it from Hannaford (3 to 5 days after I place the order.)
Send the check to:
Bob Cave
80 Chenery Street
Portland, ME 04103
The deadline to be included in the next purchase is May 22nd, 2013.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call at
773-4292, or e-mail me at Cheers
Bob

With the late departure, many of you may choose to go home and get your stuff. Just make sure you are back by 3:30. If you need to bring your stuff for school, please leave in the Great Space by the window. Also, please bring in your second payment to Mrs. Kierstead if you have not done so, and any stray medical forms to Ms. Bell.
