Cicadapalooza Fundraiser
The cicadapocalypse in our neighborhoods has made for an interesting end of the school year. This Thursday, we will have fun with Avoca West students at lunch, having a Cicadapalooza for charity. Ms. Henson, Ms. Rajab, and administrators will be outside during the lunch festivities on Thursday cooking up cicadas and eating them...for charity. Your child can join in the fun! They will be FULLY cooked. There will be sweet, savory, and even dipping sauces.

Details:
  • During lunch (about 11:30-1), we will cook cicadas (savory and sweet).
  • For $1, your student can eat a cicada.
  • For $5, I will eat a cicada. (10 max.)
  • For $5, a teacher/staff member will eat a cicada. (Many have signed up already.)
  • For $10, Assistant Superintendent Moore will eat a cicada.
  • For $20, Dr. Arreguin will eat a cicada.
All proceeds will go to the Viking Fund, which supports fee waivers for qualifying families. Parents and guardians are welcome to join us! 

Here is a link to the form that lets us know if you are okay with your student eating a cicada, if you want a specific person to eat a cicada, and for you to make a donation to the Viking Fund to support the eating of a cicada. Questions? Email [email protected]
