2023 7th Grade Carnival
by: Kelsey Garvey
On May 8th, we launched our second annual 7th grade Carnival! It's exciting and we know that this will be a memorable experience for our students. What We're Doing: Each 7th Grade ARRE time will be designing and planning a Carnival Booth for our last day of school. Students are earning points in class relating to parts of the ARRE Code (Achievement, Respect, Responsibility, Empathy). These points will be utilized to obtain tickets to play at the carnival booth. The more points earned, the more tickets to play at the booths, which means more opportunities to win raffle tickets for prizes. Each ARRE time is building their booth with a cause/charity in mind. We hope to raise money, which will be donated at the end of the Carnival. The booth that has the most attendees playing at their booth, will have the honor of getting the money raised donated to their cause of choice. Causes/Charities: Some of the causes/charities selected in the past by ARRE times include: McFarland Fire and Rescue, Dane County Humane Society, Porchlight Inc., Team Seas (Ocean Conservancy), Occupaws, Team Trees, Make a Moment. Funds donated will go directly to one of the following: 1. Donation to a Charity (We hope to put 50% of our donation towards the winning charity) 2. Purchase of Booth Items (The goal of the booth is to tie into science and be as "green" as possible. If ARRE times can recycle 100% of their booth building items, they will get bonus points to play at the Carnival) 3. Purchase of raffle items (Since students are earning raffle tickets we need to buy raffle items for students so they can win prizes. We're thinking of gift cards, themed baskets, clothing/apparel etc.) 4. Any remaining money will go into their "grade-level" account, which will travel with them through 8th-12th grade as needed. Please consider donating if you are able. We would also love monetary donations, raffle prize donations (gift cards, themed baskets, small toys, services etc.) Donations can be made by Wednesday May 31, 2023

Indian Mound Middle School Robotics Club Fundraiser: Support our students as they build robots and compete against teams throughout Wisconsin
by: ALAN KINNAMAN
The Indian Mound Middle School robotics team is fundraising to buy new equipment and send one or more teams to the State Tournament on March 13th, 2022. We are working to raise 2,000 dollars. The Robotics team does not receive funds from the district to buy equipment. Students pay a sixty-dollar fee for the season. Student fees pay for 80% of the registration fees for the season. To continue with a high-quality team, we need to raise funds each year. Please consider donating to support the hard work our sixth, seventh and eighth-grade students have done this season. Thank you Alan Kinnaman IMMS Robotics Coach
