10th Anniversary Celebration!

BHS Backpack Drive

For the past four years, students of Bellingham High School created and donated to a drive that provided backpacks for the homeless.  Each backpack contained hygiene products, non-perishable foods, hats, scarves, and gloves.  These backpacks were handed out by our students to the homeless in DC during our 8^th grade trip to our capital.  It was such a rewarding and profound experience for our students that we have continued this yearly project.  Last year, we also teamed up with All Saints Church in Woonsocket, RI and provided backpacks for the homeless that they provide free lunch for everyday.  This year, we would also like to provide food and hygiene products to our school’s food pantry to help our students and families in need.

While we are counting on the generosity of our students and families of our school, we need your help in accomplishing our goal of creating 100 backpacks and providing hygiene and food products to the needy in our community.  You and your employees can help by providing individual items, a filled backpack, or a monetary donation.  Please see attached list of items needed below.  Would you please consider helping us achieve our mission?

We thank you in advance for your support.  Your donation would be greatly appreciated and will be used to help those in need.  Items can be dropped off at the high school or we would be happy to stop by your establishment and pick them up for you.  Please feel free to contact Ms. Federlein at  mfederlein@bpsdk12.org (508-335-3490).  This drive will be held through the month of May.

Sincerely,

Dear Bellingham Business Association Member: 

Hopedale Junior Senior High School DECA is seeking sponsorships to attend the DECA International Career Development Conference (ICDC) in Orlando, Florida from April 26th- May 1st, 2019.  ICDC is the culmination of the DECA business club’s year. More than 19,000 high school students, teachers, advisors, business professionals and alumni gather in Orlando, Florida four four days of competition.  DECA members demonstrate their college and career ready knowledge and skills by participating in DECA’s industry-validated Competitive Events Program, aligned with Career Clusters, National Curriculum Standards and 21st Century Skills in the areas of marketing, finance, hospitality, management and entrepreneurship. Thirteen Hopedale High School DECA students have qualified to attend based on superior performance at the district and Massachusetts State level. More than 1,000 business professionals serve as expert judges to evaluate DECA members’ mastery of these concepts. In addition, thousands of members participate in DECA’s Emerging Leader Series, which helps them attain 21st Century Skills in the areas of collaboration and teamwork, communication, critical thinking, problem solving and creativity.  

As a local business, we are hopeful that you would be willing to support our business club and future business professionals and entrepreneurs.  Due to Bellingham High School not presently having a DECA program, we are feeling optimistic that you would support Hopedale DECA. We have attached a letter explaining more about our Hopedale DECA program and our sponsorship program. We have also attached a copy of our t-shirt from our state competition as an example of how your business would be advertised locally as well as nationally in Orlando.  

Please reach out with any questions.  We look forward to your support of our budding business DECA members.  

Lucia Rolo, Class of 2019

Hopedale DECA Chapter President 

The deadline is Monday of next week (4/22/19)! It can be mailed to the address listed at the bottom of the sponsorship form or if easier can be picked up by one of the DECA members.
