A while ago Carsyn and her BF came up with the idea to raise money for our school to get an elevator. It was prompted by one family who has a daughter with a walker entering in 3K next year (not prompted by them but because of them!).
We desperately want our school to be open to everyone. Unfortunately our building is very old and, seeing as though we are a private school, we lack the funds.
Insert 2 excited 6th graders!
They came up with a list of viable fundraising ideas and presented it to the headmaster for approval. A week later, after checking with the Admin team, the girls were delivered the good news: they were free to go ahead with some of their fundraising efforts!
First stop: coffee and treats!
Each Friday morning in February and March coffee and treats will be for sale. They are also selling headbands and rainbow loom bracelets!
We posted our advertisement on facebook and a local coffee company was so impressed with the girls initiative (and the cause) and offered to donate the coffee! THEN another company offered to donate treats! It was very exciting for the girls!
Their first coffee was today and they raised $230!
I cannot get over how proud I am of these 2 girls!
This is what I long for in my children.
Initiative.
A heart to serve.
A heart that desires to help others.
I am so very thankful for a school community that believes in the same thing!
