Fundraiser Delivery Dates

The first order of the vonBourgondien Flower Bulbs have been delivered and distributed. We expect the 2nd order to arrive any day now.

We just received a confirmed delivery date for the Gertrude Hawk candy of Tuesday, December 8 to the school from 9-1. If it gets to the school early enough and there is enough help to sort the boxes, it should go home Tuesday. If not, it'll be Wednesday. If you know that you have an order too large for your child to take home, please plan to make arrangements to pick it up.

Thank you for your participation in the Fall Fundraiser!

Dear Goochland Elementary School Parents:

On behalf of the Goochland Elementary School PTA, I want to sincerely thank everyone who took part in our fall fundraisers by selling Gertrude Hawk from brochures, on the Internet, the flower bulbs and the straight monetary donations that all go straight to funding PTA projects.

Most of you have received your bulb orders already and we have a confirmed delivery date of December 8 for the Gertrude Hawk candy.

These are very difficult financial times for many people and we understand that. Last fall we sold $22,000 and this year we sold $7700. This year’s goals will need to be adjusted accordingly since we fell short of our expectations by 65%. Our profit so far is $3900.

This is the current breakdown:

We had 87 students take part with the 5^th graders leading the pack.

Grade	Number of Participants	Dollars Sold
5	20	$2159
2	11	$1113
3	17	$1090
PK	7	$954
4	15	$938
1	10	$887
K	7	$573
	87	$7714

As a reminder, orders can still be placed on-line through the fundraising section of: http://www.gertrudehawkchocolates.com/ until December 11^th. If you need further instructions on how to do that, I can send you a copy of the on-line ordering instructions that were given out with the brochures. Shipping charges will apply for them.

We will hold off on announcing the top 3 prize winners until after the Internet ordering deadline, which is December 11^th.

We welcome your recommendations for future fundraisers, so please share your ideas with the PTA by sending your suggestions now or at anytime to the main PTA mailbox: GESPTAVOICE@aol.com or use the PTA suggestion box across from the school office.

If you have any questions or issues regarding this Fundraising campaign, please don’t hesitate to contact me and check the web log for updates. http://ges-sc-pta.blogspot.com/
