Reedy Creek Middle 8th Grade Dance
Donation protected
The end of 8th grade dance is a "rite of passage" in middle school.
At other schools, the PTA steps in and budgets for it and at some schools the Principal even sets aside some money to help support the event.
No 8th Grade Dance at Reedy Creek
That's not the case this year at Reedy Creek Middle School in Cary, NC. There's no money from either of those sources and the parents just don't have the financial resources to jump in and fund the dance like other schools might have.
A Student Steps In
This is where Reedy Creek 8th grade student leader Rebecca Strangio enters into the story. Rebecca asked why she and some of her friends couldn't help raise money for the dance.
She attended a parent meeting about the dance and talked about what she was proposing. On her own, she met with the Principal to discuss her plans and get his support and approval to move forward on her goal of making this the "best dance ever" and an "experience that everyone will remember."
She's gone to every 8th grade classroom to talk to the students about volunteering to raise money for the dance and recruited student volunteers to help at a carwash fundraiser at Advance Auto Parts on May 11th, "just in time for Mother's Day" she chimes.
Who's Running This Campaign?
Rebecca is the "boots on the ground." RCMS parent Lori Towner ([email redacted]) and others have helped organize the project.
The GoFundMe campaign was started by Hal Goodtree, Editor & Publisher of CaryCitizen.com.
