Athol High School

Hello sophomore families,

Before I jump into the details, I want to acknowledge that the timing of the dance, fundraisers, and other events this year isn’t ideal, and I know it may feel like a lot all at once. I’m sharing the information early in hopes that it will make things easier to plan for compared to last year. If everyone is able to help with just one small thing, it really adds up and helps make sure a small handful of families aren’t carrying the entire load.

Please also know that I’m working with the cafeteria to help with the breakfast, and I’m personally doing what I can to offset the impact on families for the dinner and dance. Hopefully it will all work out for the kiddos! 😊


Dinner Dance

Theme: Under the Sea

Date: Saturday, March 28th, 6 to 9pm

Place: Ellinwood Country Club


Tickets are going on sale next week for $10 during both lunches. The freshmen advisors will be in touch with you about food and remaining decorations. I’ve taken care of a lot already and I am hoping for a few more things to fall into place before we reach out!


Bunny Breakfast

Class of 2028 Fundraiser

Date: April 4, 2026

Time: 8 to 11am

Place: AHS Cafeteria


We will be doing the traditional pancake breakfast, along with some activities for the littles. I have students who have volunteered to wear a bunny costume for pictures, and we’ll have coloring pages and egg decorating available as well. We are also planning an egg hunt with prizes, although I’m not yet sure if the courtyard will be available.


I’m working with the cafeteria on the breakfast itself, and the sign-up for volunteers and food/material donations is open, just click on the link above.



Family Bingo Night

Class of 2028 Fundraiser

Date: April 8, 2026

Time:

Place: AHS Cafeteria


We are planning a nacho bar and Family Bingo Night, similar to what we did last year. The sign-up for volunteers and food donations is open, just click on the link above.


I did not include prizes in the sign-up yet. We will need a mix of smaller prizes and a few larger ones. Last year we had small toys for some of the games, and larger prizes included things like gift certificates to local businesses. I haven’t had a chance to fully think through that part yet, so please let me know if you have ideas or any connections that might be willing to donate!



Domino’s Fundraiser, April 6-17

The students will be selling cards for $20 that allows the bearer to get buy-one-get-one large pizzas until the card expires. We make $10 on every card sold.



Wendy’s Night, TBD

I haven’t had a chance to reach out yet about doing a Wendy’s night during or after the break, so stay tuned! Or if you have time to do this, please let me know!



I think those are all the updates I know about right now. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, questions, or concerns. Hoping April is a profitable month for our kiddos!
