Millbury Public Schools announced on June 1 that the Nature’s Classroom fundraiser is now underway for fifth-grade families. The campaign features a class competition, with email and text automations launching at 9 a.m., and encourages participants to log in and add contacts before the messages are sent.
According to the announcement, supporters can continue adding contacts throughout the campaign. Each supporter added helps their child’s class compete for prizes, including a pizza and movie party for the homeroom with the highest participation. Any class reaching 100 percent participation will earn an extra recess. Individual students who add five contacts—either emails or texts—to their profile will receive prizes as well as “Woolie Bucks.” The school provided links for logging in to add contacts and sharing donation information.
“Let’s make Nature’s Classroom happen for our rising 6th graders!” the statement said.
Millbury Public Schools serves the community of Millbury in central Massachusetts, offers education from pre-kindergarten through grade twelve, and works to prepare students as responsible citizens and lifelong learners, according to the official website. Students and alumni are known by the nickname Woolies, continuing a lasting tradition within the district. The school system collaborates with local organizations such as the Millbury Police Department on programs supporting students.
The district focuses on ensuring all students achieve success in education, careers, and community involvement, according to its mission statement.
