Class Gift/Scholarship: Coordinates with Principal/Admin. and students to come up with a gift for the class to give to the school (school would like a new Laptop for the SC News or maybe Room Tags). Also oversee scholarship process. Contact SBHS, advertise or candidates, receive submissions, help with selecting 2 winners. 8. Student Gift: Coordinates with afternoon event committee to provide gifts for the students and raffle items. Should we keep it simple and do just a Class of 2022 shirt and donations from local businesses?

Committees – How you can help 9. Community Give-Back: Coordinates with a community service project for the students to work on. Projects in the past – book shelves for TMS, cards for pediatric patients in INOVA Loudoun hospital, trash pick up. Other ideas – helping the elderly in our community (mulching or easy yard work), trash pickup on the routes to the school, paint what needs painting at the school, yard work at the school (work on one of the flower beds), or donate books for another school. 10. Fundraising: Need a $4,000 - $5,000 budget so need to raise $$. Restaurant Night and 50/50 Raffles, Volleyball or Kickball game???
