Longaberger Basket/Vera Bradely Bingo and Silent Auction






Wow! We had a packed house. For the first time the bingo and silent auction was held at the Bridgewater Church of the Brethren, where we had access to their large social hall, greeting area and kitchen. By the first game we had sold out and there was no more room on our tables for silent auction items. The event was a huge success as we profited close to $5000. Great job everyone.

Chicken BBQ Fundraiser 2011






As in the past 2 years, one of our first fundraisers was the Chicken BBQ. With the help of many students, parents and Mr. Rhodes (Mrs. Rhodes' dad) we BBQ over 600 halves of chicken and had them all sold by noon. Unfortunately the weather was not quite with us, as it rained a bit while we were selling.

Sign ups for the third JFHMS World Strides trip, to be taken Feb 14-18, 2012, netted us 22 students, 1 parent chaperon, Mrs. Nicholas and Mrs. Rhodes, as well as our Principal Kevin Hutton. Students worked hard at fundraising through out the summer and fall of 2011 to raise the needed funds to spend 5 fun filled and exciting days in Florida exploring the world of science by visiting EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, Sea World and Busch Gardens Tampa, along with swimming with Manatees and snorkeling in the Rainbow river.
