« Return to "No Cost" Fundraising

In case you have not heard, three Sands students raised $10,000 for Sands Montessori during the 2009-2010 school year by playing games and earning points on clevercrazes.com. This site has been promoted by Sands' phys ed teacher Jennifer Toebbe. Clever Crazes mission is as follows:

"The Mission of Clever Crazes for Kids is to build healthy lives with a primary focus on nutrition, physical activity, self-esteem and respect for our earth. We have engaged "edu-tainment" principles. We believe that there is a golden thread that weaves through our four main educational areas of nutrition, physical activity, self-esteem/bullying, and environmental sustainability. These objectives enable us to make healthy living a fun part of every-day life for young people."

The following Sands Montessori students had the honor of being in the top three nationally in the Clever Craze competition, and thus three of the top fundraisers for Sands. Mackenzie Brown was announced as the third place winner in the February/March 2010 competition earning $2,000 for Sands. Connor Courtney came in second during the December/January 2010 competition and earned $3,000 for Sands Montessori. Lauren Doepke earned $5,000 for her school by having the highest point total over December/January 2010, and had the honor of being the guest avatar for two months on Clevercrazes.com.

Congratulations to Mackenzie, Conner, and Lauren! Quite a school fund-raising run. Part of the money funded the climbing wall in the school gym and the other large inflatables!
