The Class of 2026 recently organized a Candy Gram fundraiser for Valentine’s Day. 

The fundraiser went to the freshman class and allowed students to purchase a bag of Candy Grams and send it to anyone in the school with a personalized letter.

“My role was mainly planning when we’re gonna pass them out along with advertising the fundraiser by going on the news and posting on our Instagram,” Freshman Class Officer Kayla Markowitz said. 

This event helped spread cheer and spirit throughout the school for the holiday. 

“The Candy Gram fundraiser is intended to collect money for the Class of 2026 as well as celebrate Valentine’s Day,” Freshman Class Advisor Ms. Kelly said. “We met and chose candies that would be included, the students hand wrote the notes that donors wanted to send their friends and it will be passed out during Common Time.” 

The Class of 2026 hosts numerous events to raise money for multiple events. 

“Funds that are raised during freshman year fundraisers help the Class of 2026 put on events, like our Movie Night, and also have money for future dances so that students don’t have to pay as much to participate,” Kelly said. “It also helps the class officers introduce their Class of 2026 to the rest of the school.”

This fundraiser was a great way for students to get involved and was a sweet way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. 

“I am always the Class of 2026 advisor, so I help the students brainstorm fundraisers and help with logistics,” Kelly said. “I love Candy Grams and think they are very fun for everyone.”
