Dirt, mud, and grime are no match for the Class of 2011, who will be hosting a carwash this weekend here at TJ on Saturday, May 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and there will be a $5 charge per car.

Since the next Prom is coming up in just under one year, fundraising is critical at this time. “We had a lot of suggestions for fun fundraisers, and the carwash definitely sounded like a great idea,” said Class of 2011 sponsor, Teacher Amber Wilson, who hopes to make the customers happy by serving hot dogs, hamburgers and sodas while their cars are being scrubbed clean.

Teacher Jon Poole is also a Class of 2011 sponsor, and seems to be extremely excited about the carwash. “I really am excited about this fundraiser. I love to wash cars; it happens to be a hobby of mine. I hope to see clean cars, good fundraising and most importantly fun, because there’s no FUNdraising without the fun,” said Poole. “Oh and donations are welcome. (You should bold that),” he said.

Don’t forget Spartans: TJ Carwash this Saturday in the TJ parking lot from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and it only costs $5 dollars!
