ii. GATE members with the top 10 highest point totals will get surprise incentives for their hard work! We will have more specific details on that and how to pick them up next week through email.

B. Cameo Fundraiser

i. This fundraiser will run from May 9 to May 22. Essentially, members can request a personalized video from a teacher of their choosing.

a) You could congratulate someone who’s graduating, wish someone a happy birthday, tell someone good luck on exams/tests, etc. It is up to you what you want to ask for, but it’s generally something for encouragement or congratulations.

(1) This is good for friends who are about to graduate or have a birthday coming up.

ii. Every video will cost $5. You can start making video requests next week on the Google form we post.

a) Your request must be school appropriate. Moreover, there is no guarantee your request will be approved because teachers can reject requests. If rejected, you don’t have to pay $5. If approved, you have to go to school and pay $5, but the details and the date are to be announced.
