Get ready for some sweet news, VES!
🍪We’re kicking off our Annual Mrs. Field's Cookie Dough Fundraiser today! That’s right – packets were sent home so you can start selling on Monday! And trust us, it’s gonna be a dough-lightful time!
You’ll have both online and paper order forms to help you gather all those cookie-loving customers. Reminder - Parents, please register your student's account online so you can sell using the online portal: https://onlineorders.mrsfieldsfundraising.com/vandaliaelementary25/24mfm/volunteers/register?a
The more you sell, the more epic prizes you can earn! Think: lunch with a friend, dance parties, a funtastic foam party and even the chance to silly string some mystery people! (Who could it be? ??) But wait, there’s more! The top seller will score an Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Pro Tablet (the newest model) – 10.1" HD screen, ad-free content, long-lasting battery, and all the cool features for ages 6-12. Talk about a sweet prize!
And the best part? Every penny we raise helps support and improve our programs, fund exciting field trips, and provide new opportunities for our students to learn, grow, and have fun!!
The fundraiser runs until April 14, so get your cookie-selling game on, and stay tuned for more info on prizes and how to level up your selling skills! Let’s make this the best fundraiser ever!
