Fundraising

I've downloaded materials about possibly buying **engraved bricks**( like flight 800 park and various schools and libraries around L.I.) I haven't heard back.... This is an area that needs further discussion.The bricks could then be used by the reading nook area...Should some of the existing bricks be moved??? If the greenhouse has a base should we move the existing brick in that area.????.Chris from [|Desi] said he could give us brick at $1.40 a sq. ft. instead of $1.75. Maybe a form letter of some kind could go out to the East Moriches Community about the project and ask for any contributions...the letter could be district wide or selective to business???? it's a thought. Another possible idea would be to take out an add (quarter page) in the Manorville Press............ The engraved bricks were a good suggestion... we might possibly start selling them at the Christmas Fair if time permits. Spaghetti Dinner in the spring?? A car wash/rummage sale/bake sale in the spring might raise a lot of money?? So many ideas... sooo little time!!! I have looked into a flower/bulb sale this spring. I made a 5-8 sports grid for the students to buy chances and win sports equipment. I will need some assitance possibly from peer leaders or honor society to sell the boxes at lunch for $1.00. I will call their leaders this week. November 20th I will be attending a Booster Club meeting to see if some financial assistance will be possible. December 5th at the Holiday Fair I will be holding a 50/50 raffle. The proceeds will go to the courtyard.!!!! We will also be selling engraved bricks to support the courtyard project.. see below for link... see you at the fair. Brick sales will be ongoing. I will be sending flyers home next week to both buidlings. I will also contact the local paper about the bricks and our courtyard educational project. Last night at the Holiday Fair we started our engraved brick sale. About 22+ were sold and many forms to buy were taken home!!!! Forms will go out in both schools this week. All positive suggestions and volunteers were added to our lists for future contacts. The 50/50 brought in 110.00...Thank you Emily Peterson and I just __submitted our application for $5,000.00 grant through the Lowe's__ __Toolbox for education.__ I incorporated the need for the grant to help support our Schools Wellness plan. Keep your fingers crossed we will be notified in May. Happy New Year! Brick sales are continuing to come in. We have a total of 40... Please continue to talk this up. For examples: Birthday Bricks,Class Bricks, Graduating Classes, Honor Society etc....Teacher dedication... I sent 2 emails to Denis Yeun... concerning our Education Project I'm waiting to hear back. The Manorville press can reach our community of graduates...... I will be soliciting local businesses in a few weeks concerning brick sales. Children in Jan and Feb will be buying and coloring flowers for our hallway proceeds will go to our courtyard. March we have scheduled a bulb/flower sale... flyer to follow.ThankYou There will be a Flower Power fundraiser.. Brochures will be distributed the first week of March.. The Fundraiser will run from March 9th through March 20th. April we are planning a craft/yard sale in the loop of the Elementary School. Tables will be $25.00 to rent for the day.
