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 5th 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 11th. 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 11th.
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/
