Save the Date: Holiday Fundraiser Production/Sales

Save the Date - Holiday Fundraiser Production/Sales 

Dear Parents,

Thank you to the parents who attended Friday's holiday fundraiser planning meeting. 

As in prior years we will be producing and selling fudge and cookies.  A sample ad is below:

This is our second biggest fundraiser of the year, which funds the majority of our classroom book and material purchases. This year, we are looking to use a portion of the funds raised to purchase a comprehensive Spanish language curriculum for the entire school.  Last year we sold over $4,000 worth of treats and don't see why we can't do just as good this year…possibly better.

 

We will have 2 production weekends:

• Friday/Saturday, December 9th/10th
• Friday/Saturday, December 16th/17th

Sales tables will run at the New Raman Reti temple Sunday Feast on:

• Sunday, December 4th
• Sunday, December 11th
• Sunday, December 18th (if needed)

To be successful, we really need the involvement of all our parents.  This is a great way to do something good for the school, your children, and to meet and interact with other parents. So please keep the production and sales dates in mind while planning for the month of December.  A volunteer sign-up form will go online soon.

Thank you, and we look forward to your support!

Sincerely,

Visvambhara das
Director

Shop and Earn for Bhaktivedanta Academy

Shop and Earn for Bhaktivedanta Academy

As the holiday shopping period approaches, I wanted to remind all our parents that Bhaktivedanta Academy is a participant in Target's Take Charge of Education program. You can designate our school to receive 1% of all your Target credit or debit card purchases in the form of an annual check from Target.

If you have a Target credit or debit card you can designate our school by:

1. Visiting www.target.com/tcoe
2. Clicking the Enroll link
3. Entering our Target School ID: 152289

If you don't have a Target credit or debit card, you can get one and save 5% on all your purchases. 1% of everything you buy at Target using the card will be donated to Bhaktivedanta Academy.

More information about the program, including Frequently Asked Questions can be found at www.target.com/tcoe.

We currently have 4 families enrolled and have already earned $25 in just a few months.  This is a simple and easy way to support the school, which also saves you money via the 5% discount on all in-store purchases.

Please also pass this along to grandparents and friends so they can join in support of Bhaktivedanta Academy.
