Hello, my name is Tyler Moates.  I am a teacher here at Grace Christian School, and I am asking all of my friends and family to join me and my class this year during our annual Patriot Fundraising Challenge!

As many of you know, I love teaching and as a 5th Grade homeroom teacher I am excited to be a team leader for this year's fundraiser.  The GCS Patriot Fundraising Challenge is the one fundraising event all of our students participate in and its tons of fun!!  This year, the funds raised will go towards to mission and growth of Grace Christian School and the future construction of the Robert R. Gustafson Center.  The Gustafson Center will be home to 12 classrooms, two lecture auditoriums, a new gymnasium, locker rooms, concessions, and administrative offices.  

Here are my team's goals:

• Each student has a $ 450 goal!  Each student who is able to accomplish this goal will be rewarded with a free trip to Sea World. 
• My Class has a $11,250 goal!  If we are able to accomplish our goal, my whole class will all be rewarded with a Special Field Trip or a Day Off from school.
• The Class that raises the most money will have a special plaque honoring them in the new Robert R. Gustafson Center.

Please help me and my class reach our goals and thank you for your support!
