Fundraising

Hi Extraordinary Families!

I am so proud that our Christmas fundraising goal for Hurricane Relief was met and I am very glad that being tied to a pole cured me of my temporary fit of being a bear! 1000 dollars are a wonderful gift to communities still reeling from hurricane damage and I'm so glad your students provided that help.

It is that time of year where we remind you that we are 501(c)3 charitable organization and that we do faithfully use your year end contributions to improve our facilities. Last year's fundraising promised a playground extension, and we are in the final stages of installing the geodesic dome, which should be ready for use after Christmas Break!

In considering a new set of goals, we would like to explore 2 ideas.

The first is extending our sidewalk network to cover to the art portable or the kinder barn:

Sidewalks cost about 50 dollars a walkable foot, and we would like to raise 100 feet worth of walk for a 5,000 dollar goal. We are huge fans of dryer shoes and smoother walking paths, this is a great community wide project and we may be able to use parent help and community help to extend our reach even further by building our own walks!

The second is spending some much needed funding improving our large rear patio to make it more friendly and useful as an outdoor space:

The estimated cost is 2000 dollars for surface correction and a further 1500 dollars for furniture that will make it an attractive activity space for a 3500 dollar goal.

There are 3 ways you may choose to contribute:

By leaving cash or check marked "fundraiser" with the EE house mom desk.
By mailing cash or check to 9522 Carraway Lane, Magnolia, TX 77354 so long as the USPS postmark on the letter is before 11:59:59pm on 12/31/24.
By using the donate to support EE button on our website. These funds are captured and easily deposited directly into our bank from any place you happen to be, so long as you have cell service. Our paypal handle is payment@extraed.org in case you want to use your own portal. A link is provided here for your convenience.

All donations are tax deductible, and any donation over 250 dollars qualifies for an IRS charitable contribution statement from EE.

The real blessing of this season is that we commemorate the birth of our Savior. We are so grateful for you and your children, it's our honor and privilege to grow alongside you!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
