Fruit Sales and More

Wolves Nation,

Our annual WMU Fruit & More Fundraiser is officially underway! Today, students in grades 6–12 participated in a kickoff assembly with Jamie, our representative from 4 Seasons Fundraising, and received their individual fundraising packets.

This fundraiser supports all WMU secondary activities, not just athletics. Any sanctioned junior high or high school activity benefits, including athletics, fine arts, clubs, and other student activities. Your support helps provide opportunities and resources for our students throughout the year.

Two Ways to Sell: Online and In Person

Students can participate in whichever way works best for their family. They may sell online, in person, or use both options!

1. Online Sales

• Students can use a phone or computer to create their own online fundraising account.
• Once their account is set up, they can send text messages and emails to family, friends, and other supporters.
• Supporters can purchase directly through the online link.
• IMPORTANT: Do not write online purchases on the paper order sheets. The paper sheets are ONLY for in-person sales. Anything purchased through a student's online link after a text or email is sent will be recorded online.

2. In-Person Sales

• Students may take their order sheets to work with a parent, call family and friends, or go door-to-door with parent permission.
• Parents should determine which in-person selling opportunities are appropriate for their child.
• Use the paper order sheets ONLY for purchases made in person.
• When recording quantities, write the actual number ordered rather than using tally marks. For example, if someone orders two boxes of meat sticks, write the number 2 in the quantity space. This helps prevent ordering mistakes.

Students can sell using both methods or choose just one. The important thing is to keep online and in-person orders separate!

Check Your Student's Fundraising Packet

Please take a few minutes to look through your child's packet tonight. Make sure:

• Your student's name is written on the envelope.
• Your student's name is written on all three order sheets.
• You review the product information and student incentive sheets.
• You understand the difference between online and in-person orders.

Student Incentives

In addition to supporting WMU activities, students have opportunities to earn individual rewards for their sales. Incentives include $100 gift cards and various items from the fundraiser. The incentive information and requirements are included in each student's packet.

Important Dates & Deadlines

• Friday, November 20: Last regular school day to turn in fundraising packets. Students may give packets to the office or their advisory teacher.
• Tuesday, November 24, by 10:00 a.m.: Final deadline for any last-minute sales and packets.
• Early December: Products will be delivered to WMU. We will communicate the confirmed delivery date as it gets closer.

Because we will be on Thanksgiving break, students who have not turned in their packets before the final deadline will need to email Mr. Gill to make arrangements to turn them in by 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, November 24.

Thank you for helping our students make this fundraiser successful. Whether you purchase something, share a student's online link, or help them sell in person, every bit of support makes a difference. This is a great opportunity for our school community to come together and support the many activities that make WMU special.

Thank you for supporting our students, programs, and Wolves Nation!

GO WOLVES!
