The Memory Project is a charitable nonprofit organization that invites 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/or 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, once again, for the Memory Project! In order to be involved in the program there is a small Classmunity fundraiser fee plus the cost of $15 for each portrait. I hope you will consider sponsoring one of the portraits for this amazing opportunity and international movement.

To Our Partners in Supporting the Arts in McFarland, The McFarland Choirs are preparing to stage their annual Cabaret! This performance is almost entirely student-owned: from conception and theme, to selection of material, to execution of the performance… the kids do it ALL!! This year the choirs selected to parody on competition shows like “The Voice” “America’s Got Talent” and “American Idol.” Choirs chose to sing classics like Sound of Silence, Hit the Road Jack, Viva la Vida, and Mr. Blue Sky. Student emcees will host the event and other choir members will be sharing their own unique gifts in song. It will all be on the stage on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16th from 7-9pm. Traditionally the Cabaret has been an event with food and beverage, and the profits help to support the choir program for the following year. Last year we moved this event to our new PAC to great success - but required us to get more creative with revenue. This year we’re asking for “Show Sponsors” to be announced from the stage, just like on a network program! Would you please take a moment to consider sponsoring the Cabaret, or an act in the show? Proceeds will go towards choir activities like the annual choir retreat, acapella clubs, and future Cabaret productions. Levels are as follows: * Show Partner ($500) limited number available, must commit by November 1st Logo on all materials for the show as ‘Special Partner’ and with every announcement made ie. “McFarland’s Cabaret’s Got Talent” with partners ________ and __(you!)__ Four free tickets to the show, and a reserved VIP parking spot at the PAC lot * Show Sponsor ($200-$499) Announced live at all “bookends” of the show. ie “McFarland’s Cabaret’s Got Talent” brought to you by ________…) Name of Sponsor printed in the program *Act Sponsor ($100-$199) Announced live before one of the choir (larger) acts in the show. ie “Now the Chorale, brought to you by _______, will sing Hit the Road Jack!) Name of Sponsor printed in the program *Friend of the Program (to $99) Announced live at the open of the show Printed on a “Thanks” posting in the lobby We would like to secure all show sponsors by Monday, November 11th. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!

The McFarland High School Volleyball team is currently conducting a fundraiser. The funds we raise will be used to help supplement the cost of equipment, team apparel, and other expenses not covered by our athletic department budget. While our school district does an excellent job of recognizing the needs of our program, we still need to raise the funds necessary to off-set higher costs. Especially with the budget cuts all departments are required to make, we are in need of funds to support our program! So we are turning to our families, our friends, and our community for help. Please take 5 minutes and donate whatever you can; even the smallest donation makes a huge difference. Things we will use the money for: - Team backpacks and warm ups - Transportation costs associated with further away, more competitive tournaments/matches - Program t shirts and team apparel - In season events/team bonding/building activities - New equipment (new net system (MUCH NEEDED), tripod, boxes, setting targets) - Stat program and video review subscriptions - Other costs associated with budget cuts and our current financial situation Another way to help us would be to spread the word by sharing this request via social media, e-mail, and text messaging. It makes a difference and will help us create opportunities for all of our student-athletes. Thank you for your consideration! - McFarland Volleyball Program

Our first “Destination Trip” in April of 2025 will be to Los Angeles, California! This opportunity will include traveling by plane (something new for many) which will save time, and provide more comfortable windows of travel-time, hopefully improving everyone’s overall experience. These “Destination Trips” will be more experiential - focusing on fun events, and aspects of music and the music industry not available in Wisconsin. The “Destination Trips” will be available to any/all MHS music students (including ensemble members, musician’s studio, and fundamentals/theory students). We are very excited about our students having these opportunities available, But we acknowledge cost will always be a factor. The Los Angeles trip will cost approximately $2400 per student. To help create access for any and all music students to participate, the music department is committed to offering more fundraising opportunities. Efforts will be made in three tiers: individual fundraising through the Music Boosters and personal efforts, group fundraising opportunities (participants each receive a share of the funds raised, and travel sponsorships wherein funds raised are applied directly to the trip, to help subsidize the cost for all MHS students.

This event will foster discussion between club members from a variety of social justice-oriented clubs at MHS and IMMS. The first-annual Equity Picnic will include time for student collaboration on year-long goals, the creation of a master calendar for equity-oriented events, breakout sessions about leadership development, and potentially a keynote speech from a local leader. In addition, students will be able to work in partnership with community groups involved in social justice work to communicate about their shared vision for McFarland.

We would love to partner with any business and include their logo as it represents their commitment towards equity work in our schools. In addition to the many MHS and IMMS social justice club members we anticipate taking part in the event, we also hope to have many staff and community members involved, including District- and Village Board Members, building administrators, members of the McFarland Equity Project, the leadership team from Natural Circles of Support, members of the Equity SPEAR team at MHS, and advisors to equity-oriented clubs at both buildings.

On Saturday, May 14th, a self-described white supremacist drove 200 miles to Buffalo, New York to shoot open-fire in a supermarket in a historically Black neighborhood. The 18-year old killed 10 people, and injured 3. All those that were killed were African American and the federal government is investigating this as a hate crime. Currently, the supermarket is closed, and many Buffalo citizens now have to travel far to access a grocery store. For more information check PBS's news coverage here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvLWNX_jXCk The McFarland High School Black Student Union (BSU) is holding a fundraiser to donate money to the Buffalo community.

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.

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!

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!
