Fall Fundraiser: Roxana

Timing did not work out this year.  Next year-community event, fun family event.

Issues with Applefest timing needs to be worked out

Ideas for fall fundraising for this year:

build brick walkway-sell bricks.  Donations specified for playground improvement this year.

*Plaque/s engraved on wall at school- Karen mentioned Fire Department has *conditions on wall hangings.  Must be encased. 

*Karen-engraving of stone wall possibility

*possibly engraved bricks for a garden in the back of the school.  Possibility of alumni donating.

 

Cookbook fundraiser-all families donate a couple of recipes-est. *

$10-$15 sale amount. 

*Others mentioned higher price could be charged. 

*Suggestions were to have student favorites or family favorites for recipes along with picture of child and/or drawing by child

 

Roxana would like to do both cookbook and engraving project

 

Spring Festa

*need to pick a date

*feedback on venues from past-both were positive

*This year possibly Nashoba winery with a jazz quartet

*more discussion about bricks for budget purposes-up to 6 lines/20 characters per line/$35 purchase price a brick, $5 cost of brick, estimating 50 bricks purchased.  Budgeting TBD
