Parent Handbook

Fundraising is an integral part of our co-op system. Each family is required to participate in our fundraisers throughout the year, as well as the activities involved in running a smooth fundraiser. Otherwise families will be subjected to paying fines, established by the Board.

• The basement sale requires $75 donation of useable household items for resale, as well as fulfilling one “shift” in the set-up, sale, or clean-up for the sale. Families without goods for resale can opt to “buyout” at $75. This buy-out option must be paid prior to the basement sale beginning. A late fee of $25 will be applied if buy-out option is not communicated to the Treasurer and Ways and Means Chair and paid in full prior to the event.
• The plant sale requires that each family sell $250 worth of plants. A family can choose a “buyout” option of paying $100 to the preschool in lieu of selling plants. “Buyout” payments are due in the same date as plant orders. A late fee will be charged for delinquent “buyout” payments. In addition, all families (whether selecting the buy-out option or not) are required to participate in the filling of orders and distribution of plants.

On occasion the preschool will hold additional fundraisers. It is understood that all families will participate as needed.
