Spot the Spartan Challenge
by: GINGER VERHULST
This year our chapter is creating a new community event called, “Spot the Spartan Challenge.” This challenge is for community members to get out of their house and “spot” the Spartan heads throughout town during the month of October. We would love to have your assistance in making this event successful. Here’s where we need your help: Sponsor a Spartan Head: You will pay $20.00 to receive a Spartan Head created by our Technology Education department. This Spartan Head you will then decorate and place in your business (or location of your choice) for community members to find. Sponsor a Spartan Head for a Group: You will pay $20.00 to sponsor a Spartan Head for a group in the McFarland Community to decorate and choose a location for community members to find. As community members complete the Spot the Spartan Challenge, the final destination on their list is to donate items to the McFarland Food Pantry. After the challenge is over, you are able to return the Spartan heads to participate in a silent auction. We will then do a week-long online auction for members of the McFarland community to buy the Spartan heads, and all the proceeds will be donated to the McFarland food pantry. We feel this is a great event that will encourage Spartan Pride and giving to the community while being socially distant. We hope you consider participating in the event!

Bill Garvey Memorial MEF/Athletic Annual Fundraiser
by: Kelsey Garvey
Each year the Bill Garvey Memorial Golf Outing raises money for the McFarland Education Foundation and McFarland Athletic Department. Due to the COVID pandemic, we’ve needed to restructure the way we can raise money for two amazing organizations. The money earned each year helps the MEF offer scholarships to hardworking seniors and grants to our district's teachers. The money raised supports equipment and uniform needs for our high school and middle school athletic teams, that go above and beyond our school’s budget. While we can’t golf together this year, we hope you will consider “chipping in” to support the students in our community. UPDATE 7/21/20: Due to our current situation, we have modified our sponsorship levels. We hope this time of uncertainty finds you well and thank you for supporting the MEF and McFarland Athletic Department. *Participant Golf Packages Include: One six-pack cooler bag, one divot tool, one towel, 1oz SPF 30 sunscreen, ball marker, two golf balls, 5 tees, 2 ball markers.

McFarland A Cappella Choir to Ponce PR International Choir Festival
by: Paul Gregg
in March of 2021 McFarland's A Cappella Choir will join choirs from across the United States and Canada at the Discover Puerto Rico Choral Festival. Perform for appreciative audiences in the culturally rich southern Puerto Rico city of Ponce. McFarland singers will broaden their understanding of the unique aspects of Caribbean and Puerto Rican choral traditions during a workshop at the Juan Morel Campos Institute of Music in Ponce. The citizens of Ponce rejoice in the festival’s main event, where we will entertain the large and enthusiastic audience at the La Perla Theater. Following the festival, McFarland students will participate in a service project on the island and do some sightseeing, before visiting the Free School of Music in San Juan, where the McFarland High School A Capella Choir has been invited to perform a friendship concert. Because this will be a class trip with an entire ensemble - reliant on a solid percentage of participation for success, it is our hope to be "Sponsored" by the McFarland community and subsidize 15-20% of the trip cost FOR ALL MEMBERS of the ensemble. We begin this effort today. Please visit our website at: mhschoirs.org

Memory Project
by: LINDY WIESMANN
The Memory Project is a charitable nonprofit organization that invites art teachers, art students, and solo artists to help cultivate global kindness by creating portraits for children around the world who have faced substantial challenges, such as violence, war, extreme poverty, neglect, and loss of parents. The participants create these portraits to help children feel valued and important, to know that many people care about their well-being, and to provide a special childhood memory in the future. Since 2004 the Memory Project has created more than 130,000 portraits for children in 47 countries. I am honored to announce that our very own McFarland Art Students will be crafting portraits for the Memory Project! In order to be involved in the program there is a cost of $15 for each portrait. I hope you will consider sponsoring one of the portraits for this amazing opportunity and international movement.

It Takes A Village to Educate: Together With Tanongou
by: ANGELA BAZAN
The World Geography class at McFarland High School has been learning about the village of Tanongou, in Benin, Africa. We are working to raise $3000 to support education in the village by sponsoring scholarships for students to attend school and learn a skill. We are also hoping to help fund the cost of birth certificates so students may continue their education. In Benin, students must take a test after 6th grade to be admitted to the next level. In order to take the test, they need a birth certificate, or they are not allowed to continue their education. As many are born in the village, a birth certificate is costly to obtain and travel to the city is difficult. We know that education is the key to success, and we are grateful for the education that we have. Please help us to spread that knowledge around the world- It truly takes a village to help another!

Calculating our Future
by: Tracy Gibbons
Graphing calculators are something every math student should have access to. In freshman level classes, much emphasis is put on the teaching students how to use the graphing calculator technology. Many students are unable to afford these on their own, so by providing them, we are creating an even playing field for all. Learning how to use technology is an essential component to using it correctly. By providing our students with the needed materials, we are helping them to gain confidence in a subject area many students feel inadequate. Where Your Donation Goes MATERIALS COST QUANTITY TOTAL Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator • STAPLES ADVANTAGE $124.97 12 $1,499.64 Duracell AA Batteries, 4/Pk • STAPLES ADVANTAGE $5.79 4 $23.16 Materials cost $1,522.80 Vendor shipping charges FREE State sales tax $0.00 3rd party payment processing fee $22.84 Fulfillment labor & materials $30.00 Total project cost $1,575.64 Total project goal $1,853.69 Still needed View calculation $1,853.69 Our team works hard to negotiate the best pricing and selections available.

It's Electric: Light Up Tanongou!
by: ANGELA BAZAN
The World Geography Class at McFarland High School is working to raise money to place solar panels in the village of Tanongou- located in Benin, West Africa. While we are used to the daily luxuries that electricity provides, such as lights, cellphones, technology, and stoves for cooking, the village of Tanongou has no electricity at all. Students who go to school all day are expected to contribute to their family's survival by helping in the home and fields after school. By the time they are able to study in the evening, it is too dark, making it near impossible to do so. Tanongou is also located near the largest game preserve and natural waterfall in Africa. The ability to get tourists to come off the path and into the village would promote economic tourism and give jobs to the people of the village. Having electricity would encourage tourists to stay in the village and provide all with a better way of life. Our goal of raising $2230 would allow us to place six solar panels in the village and change the lives of the people in Tanongou forever. Please help us change the world!
