The Strawberry Festival Community Chest needs your
talent and your donations. What is Community Chest? It was named by the students
and is one of the many fundraising facets of Strawberry Festival. It’s a booth
that showcases strawberry-themed goods made or donated by parents, grandparents,
students and friends.
Each year we receive
wonderful sewn and crafted items. Each year is slightly different, but we do
have some specific items that are perennially popular, such as our t-shirts and
homemade strawberry jam (a huge seller). We rely upon your help to replenish the
stock. If you would like to have the recipe for the jam, ideas for sewn items,
or if you have any other ideas for the booth, please call Mary at
The Community Chest makes a
nice profit for the school and has a faithful following in the festival-goers!
We will have a box in the office waiting to receive your goodies. Thanks for
your help as we prepare for our most successful Strawberry Festival yet!
