FCS Fundraising
Fundraising for Friends Community School
Fundraising is an essential activity, not only because of the sense of community that grows when we work together but also because tuition does not cover the full cost of educating our children at FCS. Your active participation is critical in helping bridge the gap and in keeping tuition costs down. This year we have planned the following:
1. Fall Fair. Fall Fair 2006 will take place on Saturday, October 21st. As usual all proceeds will supplement classroom budgets. More information to come.
2. Auction. All FCS families are asked to assist and participate in this evening of great food and fantastic shopping opportunities on April 21, 2007. The money raised by this event goes to the scholarship fund. Many volunteers are needed.
3. Art Show. Your children create beautiful art, you buy it, and the money goes to Laurie Stepp for the art program. The Art Show is scheduled for March 16, 2007.
4. Cultural Arts. The cultural arts committee, clerked by Janet Liechty, brings in performing artist(s) to work with the students in each class. The committee sells Giant gift certificates to fund the program. Look for order forms in Kidmail.
5. Safeway Club for Education and Giant A+ Bonus Bucks for Education. Earn money for FCS when you use your Giant Food Bonus Card or Safeway Club card. Register at www.giantfood.com (Giant - School ID - 00599) and www.safeway.com (Safeway - School ID - 6505952). Nacny Neville is the coordinator for this Fundraiser.
6. Box Tops. Nancy Neville is our coordinator. Please put your specially marked box tops in the can outside the school office.
