A Chance to Earn Credit Toward Year End Activities!

Fundraising Drive Approaches

This is a reminder that our first fundraising drive will begin on Thursday, October 9^{th, just prior to the Thanksgiving weekend. Students involved will be selling MacMillan’s cookie dough, muffin batter, and desserts, all products that proved very successful during last year’s fundraising drive. MacMillan’s products are made using the finest of ingredients, carefully measured and blended resulting in truly delicious old-fashioned goodness. Orders are prepared fresh, flash frozen, and immediately shipped to lock in flavour, texture and natural goodness.}

All sales need to be finalized and all orders and payments will be due at the school on Tuesday, October 21st. A school order can then be compiled and phoned in. The company requires up to two weeks to make the order, pack it, and ship it to us. The order is set to arrive at the school on Saturday, November 1st, with distribution that same day beginning at 9:00 a.m. and finishing at 11:00 a.m. only. Students will need to arrange pick up during this time only. Then, students will be responsible for delivering the product to their customers as quickly as possible.

Fundraising at Stanley Park is an optional activity offered to all students to help them earn money for use later in the year. Most of the profits earned are turned directly back to students in the form of credits for their personal use in reducing several year-end costs associated with off campus trips and graduation. Students will earn a credit of $3.00 per item, which can be used toward Club Stanley, Gr. 7 Camp, or Gr. 8 Quebec City activities in June.

In our credit system, approximately 90% of the profit from our fundraising drive is turned directly back to the student sellers in the form of credits.  The remaining 10% is used to subsidize parts of the electives program.  Without sufficient student involvement, we will not be able to subsidize the electives program to the same extent, particularly some of the transportation costs.  As a result, students may end up having to pay more for some electives.

Parents and students are reminded that students are discouraged from selling door to door or to strangers. Students are encouraged to sell to family, friends and neighbours whom they know and to collect payment when the order is placed by the customer.  Cheques may be made payable to Stanley Park P.S.
