School district administrators warn that a student may be fraudulently collecting funds for the junior class at Sequim High School.

Randy Hill, assistant principal at Sequim High School, said the school received calls on March 3 that a boy wearing a hooded sweatshirt traveling on bicycle claimed to be with the Class of 2018 going door-to-door asking for money.

No specific description of the boy was given to school officials, but Hill said the school does not send children door-to-door asking specifically for money.

Not to be confused with current fundraising efforts for the Sequim Class of 2017, Jamie D’Amico, parent and chairman of the senior class party, said students’ only fundraising efforts is their flamingo flocking fundraiser where students leave flamingos at a residence or business overnight and it’s up to the owner how much they want to donate.

D’Amico said students place the flamingos and pick them up the next day but they never have direct contact with homeowners/business owners.

She said parents of this year’s senior class offer raffle tickets for sale and there will be a golf tournament fundraiser at The Cedars at Dungeness in May but no fundraising is specifically door-to-door.

Hill said this possible scam is the first of its kind he’s heard of in his time with the Sequim School District.

Sgt. Mike Hill with the Sequim Police Department said they aren’t investigating what student or students may be soliciting funds because it was never reported to the department.

He said if they received more information from a parent or local resident, an officer could look into the situation.

Sequim school administrators urge local residents that if someone suspicious comes to your door, to get a description and call local law enforcement. To verify fundraising efforts, call the school district office at 582-3260.
