Letter
The Epsom Central School 8th Grade Class is planning its third
annual historical trip to Washington, D.C., for April, 2010. In
order to make this a possibility, we are conducting numerous
fundraisers with our students and asking businesses to help us. Our
goal is to make it a reality for all students to attend, rather than
a select group who can afford the cost. We want to make this an
inspiring experience to remember for years to come.
The Class will be holding an Auction on December 4, 2009, at the
Epsom Fire Station, located on Dover Road in Epsom. All proceeds
from this auction will go directly to the cost of the field trip.
Your donation of an item or gift certificate will be greatly
appreciated. All Auction items will be listed in our program, along
with the donor’s name.
This would be a wonderful opportunity to advertise your
business, while realizing a tax deduction for your donation toward
this very worthwhile cause.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please
feel free to contact Peter Arvanitis at (603) 798-4708, parent
coordinator, or Patrick Connors, Principal of Epsom Central School.
Thank you in advance of your support of our students.
Sincerely,
Patrick Connors, Principal; Brian Beaverstock,
Assistant Principal; Joan Pozner, 8th Grade Trip Advisor; Mary
Yeaton, 7th Grade Trip Advisor; Peter Arvanitis, Parent Coordinator.
