Fairfield Preschool: Fudge for Funds

Fudge for Funds

We had a very successful Fudge for Funds fundraiser. We sold 181 boxes of fudge, which means we raised $905.00. Wow! The top fudge seller sold 26 boxes and second place sold 22 boxes.

Now the plan is to come up with a deserving cause to donate half of our proceeds (which comes to $450). I would love to get some suggestions from the parents to find a deserving charity.

Here are the criteria:

1. It needs to benefit children

2. It needs to be a non-profit

3. It needs to be local (at least Vermont local).

     Bring your ideas into preschool over the next few weeks. If you are able to gather a little information on the cause of your choice, that would be great. We will be letting the kids know about the different places and how they help kids. On Election Day, (November 3), the kids will vote for the organization to which we will donate.

     Thanks to everyone for the hard work you did in selling the fudge. Snowflake will be done putting our order together on Sunday, October 25. You will have it to distribute to your customers on Tuesday, October 27.

     For anyone interested, here is more information on Snowflake Chocolates Fudge for Funds program.

I have two suggestions for the childrens charity donations... First, the Bookmobile!! I think that it would be very tangible for the kids to donate money to something that they all get the use of. Second, perhaps they could donate teddy bears or whatever else might be needed at the Children's Hospital at Fletcher Allen. Perhaps even have Dr. Lewis First come to accept the donation and talk about where their money is going?? Oh, a third idea would be the Ronald McDonald House in Burlington!!! I volunteered there for years and it certainly benefits children from all over our region!

Gak Recipe

Make sure to use non-metal bowls and utensils

In one bowl combine: 1/2 c. warm water, 1 c. of Elmer's Glue. Mix until well blended.

In another bowl combine: 1 c. warm water and 4 tsp. Borax. Mix until Borax dissolves.

Add your preferred food coloring color to each bowl.

Pour the Borax mixture into the glue mixture and watch it turn into a stringy goop before your eyes. A grownup will need to knead the mixture until all of the water is worked in and you are left with a consistent, rubbery substance.

Preschool Registration

If you are interested in having your child be a part of the preschool classroom, you may call the early childhood programs office at 524-3613. All children who are 3 years old by September 1, can come to one of our monthly preschool screenings. We usually have one screening in Fairfield in the spring. A screening is just a 45 minute visit to a preschool classroom with other children and their parents. We will have activities and toys available for the kids the explore. After screening, your child is placed on a waiting list for preschool. We continue taking names and screening children up until June 1st. At that time, all children are placed in available preschool spots, priority is given to children who are 4 years old by September. If we are over capacity, children will be drawn from a lottery. If you have any concerns about your child's development, we also also offer education evaluations for children who may be in need of special education services.
