Changes to Final Fundraiser

We've made some changes to our final fundraiser for Ashland. Instead of working with Applebees, which was proving difficult, we are going to host the pancake breakfast here at school. The Applebees program allowed us to sell tickets for $10 each and keep $4. If we host our own here at school, we can sell tickets for $5, which will likely be much easier to sell, and still have a $4 profit. 

The adults in the Gorsage / Lehman family all have food handlers licenses and are willing to do the cooking, so we just need students to serve and parents willing to help manage and direct. 

I know you're dying to ask how you can help so here's what we need: 

1. Sell tickets. Tickets are $5.00 per person for a short stack of pancakes and juice or coffee. Ticket order forms will go home this afternoon with your student. In order to make our fundraising goal, we need to sell about 200 tickets. 

2. Donate items to be used. We need paper cups, orange juice, coffee, cream, sugar, butter, and syrup. 

3. Sign up to help wrangle servers. We will be serving from 8:00 until 11:00. I would like each student to serve for one hour. This will take some direction from adults. 

4. Sign up for clean up. We will need someone to supervise the dishwashers and several hands to help supervise the clean up at the end. 

Students are expected to be on site from 7:30 until 11:30. They may wear clean jeans and their 8th grade t shirt. Everyone will serve in a variety of roles including server, bus person, cashier, garbage, dishwasher, etc. 

We appreciate your support and if you have any questions or to donate items, you may contact myself or Erin Gorsage Lehman.
