Laps 4 Learning is a student-led fundraiser.
We ask each student to raise $250 by soliciting donations from friends, family and neighbors through cash, check or online donations.
-
- Cash/check donations: On April 11th, students will receive a collection envelope with a tracking sheet to collect cash and check donations. Students can turn in these envelopes with their cash and check donations to the school office on or before May 2nd. If you lose this envelope, visit the school office for a new one.
-
- Online donations: Each VCES student has a unique fundraising link on our online donations website. Parents can send out the link through email or social media to friends and family who can donate online.
Parents will receive this link and login information in an email on April 11th.
-
- Donation tracking: All donations will be tracked on the L4L online donations website (cash and check donations will be entered as they are turned into the office), and each student’s donations will be tracked on their individual donation page. Check in on this page to see where we are in our fundraising, or check the banners at school gates for updates.
-
- Customize your fundraising page! We encourage parents and students to customize their individual page with pictures, videos and special messages.
