🐻 Every Cub Counts. Every Gift Matters. 🐻
September 28 - October 30, 2026
Our Bear Cub families are coming together to support our school.
This year, it’s all about PARTICIPATION!
💛 Any donation amount counts toward your grade’s participation.
🏆 Grades are competing for the highest percentage of families participating.
🎉 Each Friday’s leading grade level earns EXTRA RECESS the next week!
🍦 And the grade with the highest participation at the end of the drive gets to choose the ultimate prize:
SILLY STRING THE PRINCIPAL
OR
TURN THE PRINCIPAL INTO A HUMAN SUNDAE!
Every family can help their student's grade climb the leaderboard.
No gift is too small.

FAQ 🐻 Bear Cub Fund Drive - Good to Know!
We’ve received a few great questions since kicking off our Annual Fund Drive. Here are three things to know about the grade-level participation challenge:
Do we need to donate every week?
- No! Participation is cumulative throughout the entire Fund Drive. Once your family has donated, you’re counted for the remainder of the campaign. Weekly standings simply show which grade has the highest overall family participation at that point in the drive.
What if I have children in multiple grades?
- One donation counts for your entire family. If you have children in multiple grades, your family’s participation will count toward each of their grade levels.
We donated before the Fund Drive officially started. Does that count?
- Yes! All Fund Drive donations received before our September 28 kickoff have been included in the participation totals. There’s no need to donate again.
Remember, any donation amount counts toward participation.
Our goal is to get as many Bear Cub families involved as possible!
