Ads and Sponsorships
Celebrate Students with an Ad or Sponsorship in the 2011 Commencement Journal
The new 2011 Commencement Journal has something for everyone and helps give opportunity to over 59% of Mustard Seed School students.
- Families: contribute to a keepsake; fill it with pictures, memories, tributes, and well-wishes. Support fundraising efforts by selling an ad to a local business. More.
- Businesses: use your advertising dollars to make a difference in the lives of Hudson County students and reach over 500 Hudson County residents. More.
- Supporters: become a Commencement sponsor and make your tax deductible gift to Mustard Seed School and be listed in the program. More.
As we enter the homestretch for this school year we will be trying something new! Traditionally, when we have come together as a community to celebrate our students at the Spring Concert, we have raised money for the Financial Aid Fund by soliciting sponsorship and selling ads for a program. These sales have bolstered our fundraising efforts immensely, but the program has evolved into something more. It has become an annual keepsake of sorts; filled with pictures, memories, tributes and well-wishes for students. It is in the spirit of embracing this that we are forgoing the publication of a Spring Concert Program, and instead introducing a Commencement Journal for 2011!
Ads and sponsorships are due Friday, June 3, 2011.
