🌟 Mission Briefing 🌟

Attention, heroes in disguise! It's time to reveal your secret identity, don your capes, and join forces with fellow parents to become a superhero for your child's education.

Your mission: embark on a thrilling three-day adventure of epic proportions in support of the Ellis Fund!

πŸ’₯ Let's Supercharge the Ellis Fund πŸ’₯

The Ellis Fund is the vital lifeblood of our school's annual operating budget. It empowers us to fuel Tailored Tuition, ignite curricular enrichment, maintain our state-of-the-art facilities, and attract and retain the guardians of education we fondly refer to as our faculty and staff.

Together, we'll send the entire Ellis community a message that Ellis parents are not just involved; they are passionately committed to the school's bright future.

🎯 Mission Objectives 🎯

To secure a powerful future for Ellis, we need your heroic support. πŸ’ͺ High parent participation is our emblem of community strength, a beacon to guide newcomers, and a source of pride for us all. Last year, we soared to new heights with an astounding 93% parent participation in the Ellis Fund. But we're aiming even higher this year - setting our sights on 100% parent participation!
