TRIP: Jackson Hole, Wyoming

One of our vacations up for auction this year is a 7 day stay at Spring Creek in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. You won't want to miss this one!

There are only two weeks available for lodging at this beautiful condo: Spring Break AND June 4-11.



If you would like this condo for Spring Break now is the time to plan.

The Nagles have donated a week at their wonderful condo at Spring Creek in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The first week it would be available is our spring break week, April 2-9.

Because that would be an awesome Spring Break trip for a family, and you may need time to line up plane tickets (travel expenses are not included with this offer)

We have decided to put it up for bid through the school before the auction.

In the past, the condo has sold for around $1200 for the week. (That is a bargain actually)

So, we will start the bidding at $1000 and see what happens. The final bids must be in by noon on February 18 and the winner will be announced in a parent email by the end of the day.

To place a bid, post a comment below with your name and your bid amount.

New Blog & Fall Semester

So here we are with our new blog for Covenant Christian School Fundraising. This is an exciting thing! The goal is to have this be the place for updates on what is happening with fundraising at Covenant Christian School. If you have any questions, this should be the first place to check for answers. I will do my best to keep this updated as much as possible.

To start off with let's take a look at fall of 2010.

Pie Buy: We did the annual Pie Buy right off the bat. We sold an amazing 1175 pies!! This was a big increase from last year. Thank you so much to all of you who sold pies! You are greatly appreciated!

Pizza Drive: for the second fundraiser in the fall, we did our first ever Pizza Drive. We pre-sold 266 pizzas. We made a total of 500 pizzas. This was a trial run and we feel like it went well considering we were learning so much through this whole process. At this point, we are re-evaluating on where to go with this type of fundraiser in the future. There will be an update in a future post.

Rib Night at Yesterdays: We also had Rib Night at Yesterdays in November. We did well with this also. Thank you to those of you who bought your tickets and went to Yesterday's for delicious ribs!

A couple Fundraising Team FYI's for you:

Team members are: Rose Schwartz, Mary Moyer, Caren Hoover, Stephanie Bruckner, Kurt DeJong, and Barb Hesselink
Meeting times: The first Thursday morning of each month. We may meet more often depending on the upcoming event.
Thank you: I truly appreciate all of the individuals who make up this team. Each person works very hard in contributing to this team and this school. A personal thank you to Mary, Caren, Stephanie, Kurt and Barb for all you do!

We have some exciting events coming up this semester so keep checking back!
