• Grade 8 Trip Fundraising:  

    Dear 7th Grade Families,

    We are excited to announce the fundraising efforts for our upcoming 2025-2026 8th Grade Trips at LaGrange Middle School! These trips are designed to provide fun and educational experiences for our
    students, and we want to ensure that every student has the opportunity to participate. Planned Trips (locations subject to change):

    ● Fall 2025: Cruise on the Hudson River
    ● Winter 2026: Museum of Natural History in NYC
    ● Spring 2026: Liberty and Ellis Island in NYC

    Estimated total cost for all 3 trips: $375.00

    To help make these trips possible, we are launching an online-only fundraiser from April 22nd - May 23rd through a company called Cherrydale. The fundraiser will feature two online catalogs (Cherrydale
    Spring Catalog and Ready to Eat Snacks/Treats), offering a variety of items that students can sell to family and friends.

    Here’s how it works:

    ● Cherrydale gives students back 40% profit from most items that will go directly toward the cost of the trips (20% profit for clothing items/personalized products).
    ● Online-only platform: Cherrydale uses ShopFund.com, where students can easily share their personalized fundraising links via email, text, or social media.
    ● Direct shipping: All items are shipped directly to consumers. The more items your child sells, the more funds they raise for their trip! We will track each student’s individual fundraising total.

    Below you’ll find instructions on how to sign up for the Cherrydale fundraiser through ShopFund.com. Thank you for your support as we work together to make these educational experiences a reality for our
    students. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at dfendrich@acsdny.org.

    Sincerely,
    Mr. David Fendrich
