Volunteer Bakers needed for 8th Grade Washington D.C. Night Fundraiser
We will have a more detailed reminder to send out for our DC Night which we will send out to you early next week. We did want to let you know about the DC Night Bake Sale Fundraiser that will be held on DC Night Thursday May 9th.

Over the past 3 years we have held a bake sale fundraiser for the Matthew Pucino Memorial Foundation. As many of you may know from your child's DC Trip and a previous blog post, Matthew was a solider from Plymouth, MA who was killed in Afghanistan in 2009. The 8th grade house has formed a close bond with the Pucino family since his death and we pay our respects to Matthew at Arlington National Cemetery while on the trip.
This year is particularly special in that the Pucino family will be coming to the middle school to visit with the 8th graders in June. We are working on a special event for that day between the family, the students and the teachers and any parents who may wish to attend as well.
The bake sale fundraiser we hold at DC Night is the last service piece that the 8th grade class will be doing here at the middle school. All of the proceeds we raise fron the fundraiser at DC Night will got to Matthew's foundation and be presented to the family when they come to visit in June.
The Matthew Pucino Memorial Foundation was created by Matthew's two sisters. The purpose of the foundation is to raise money to provide for the needs of soldiers and their families, veterans and their families, wounded soldiers and their families, wounded veterans and their families, and families of the fallen. Over the past three years the 8th grade house has been able to raise through our fundraiser nearly $3000.00 and we hope to continue this support this year as well. More information about the Foundation can be found by clicking on the picture below.
We are looking for parents and kids to volunteer to bake items to contribute to our bake sale fundraiser. If you are able to contribute a baked good for the bake sale it is greatly appreciated by the 8th grade house and also Matthew's family. Baked items can be brought to school to me the day of DC Night or be brought that night to the bake sale tables which will be set up in the main lobby.
You can volunteer to prepare a baked good one of two ways:
1. You can email kevin_farley@wayland.k12.ma.us to let us know
2. Or fill out the form below to sign up to bake (trying something new with this!)
3. If you are able to help provide assistance supervising the bake sale please also let us know!
