About this fundraiser

Looking for a night out (or a peaceful evening in)... without your kids?

On Friday, May 19th, the MHS Connect Club will be hosting its second-annual Date Night childcare event for families! Drop off your kids with us at Waubesa Intermediate School, and we’ll provide them with an underwater-themed dinner, movie, games, and a night of fun -- all while you are off enjoying an evening without kids! Even better, your participation in our event benefits Reach Dane, a local non-profit that provides education and support services to local families and kids.


Location:
- Waubesa Intermediate School Cafeteria and Gym
- Enter through the K doors (doors near the northeast side of the gym)


Time:
- 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.


Cost:
- $20 per child when pre-registered through Classmunity on or before Thursday, May 18th
- $25 per child when purchasing at the door on Friday, May 19th

**Please purchase one ticket for each child in attendance. There is no official age limit, though we ask that all children in attendance are potty-trained.


New This Year:
In the past, this event has been used as a fundraiser for Connect, a club at the high school, which strives to give the student body a voice by connecting students with the administration, School Board and community. This year, in an effort to continue investing in the McFarland community, Connect will be donating half of all proceeds to Reach Dane. This organization’s mission is to provide education and supportive services to underserved families and kids. Additional donations and "tips" are accepted (but not expected) via the General Donation ticket option — we are grateful for your support!


Dinner Menu:
- Pizza (cheese and pepperoni)
- Gluten-free Chicken Nuggets
- Peanut-Butter and Jelly Uncrustables (contains gluten and nuts)
- Goldfish
- Fresh Fruit and Vegetables
- String Cheese
- Dessert: Freeze Pops; Oreos (contains gluten); Swedish Fish

**Parent/guardian may provide a sack-dinner if above menu is not sufficient for child


Activities:
- Screening of the movies "Little Mermaid" and “Finding Nemo” (Pixar)
- Group games and free-play in the gym
- "Underwater"-themed arts and crafts activities
- Board games and card games
- Coloring


Please Note:
There will be several high school volunteers (Connect members) leading children through activities, games, and mealtime at this event. A couple of adult chaperones will be on-site to support volunteers and children, and to ensure the health and safety of all participants.


About Connect:
Connect is a student organization that formed last year focused on amplifying student-voice within both the community and the schools. Our club has participated in numerous activities which include:
- Presenting bi-weekly to the School Board about MHS activities
- Meeting with high school administration monthly
- Participating in staff and administration hiring processes
- Hosting community events
- Hosting voter outreach drives
- Volunteering at McFarland’s polling place
- Participating in school wide initiatives
- Launching a school newsletter for the MHS student body
We hope to continue to make a difference within our school year after year by partnering with different organizations and pioneering new events!


About Reach Dane:
Half of the proceeds made from this event will be donated to the local non-profit organization Reach Dane. Reach Dane is an organization within Dane County dedicated to providing education and supportive services to underserved families and children. They work with a number of different programs to allow families to access physical and mental health services, dental services, nutrition, and transportation. Help them continue their work by registering your kid for Connect Date Night or donating!

Event updates

Wow! We have sold out of both our pre-registration and day-of tickets! Our club is excited to see this event grow so much from our first iteration last May. We're especially thrilled by the impact your support will have on our fundraising beneficiary, Reach Dane, a local non-profit providing education and support services to area families and kids.

Parents/Guardians/Caretakers - please check the email used during registration for some important updates ahead of our event. There, we share information regarding where to enter (the K-doors - see attached image), the sign-in/sign-out process, the dinner menu, and how to reach us during the event in case of emergency.

Though not expected, we also welcome you to extend your support to Reach Dane via the "General Donation" ticket option (offered in increments of $5), or cash-donations at the door. We appreciate all donations, no matter the size!

See you soon,

Mariel McAleer (Connect Advisor) + the Connect team
