HOT CHOCOLATE SALES
In the past we have found that offering hot chocolate for sale at
lunchtimes on Fridays has been a reliable and consistent way of raising
funds for our Camp Storer trip. For this to happen we need one or two
parent volunteers to run the sale. Responsibilities would include:
- preparing the hot chocolate
- setting up the cash box (we'll provide startup $)
- running the sale (usually in the lobby as students come in from lunch recess)
- cleaning up afterward
In the past we have held these sales on Fridays, but if you're
interested in helping out and another day would work better for you,
that would be fine. With setup and cleanup, the responsibilities would
typically last from 11:45 to about 1:15. Fifth grade students are eager
to help and will make this task much easier!
