The Cookie Dough is Coming!

Cookie Dough pick-up times will be Tuesday, November 20 from 1-3pm and 5-7pm and again on Wednesday, November 21 from 8:30-noon.  Volunteers? We need you Tuesday morning to help organize the bundles by class. 

Now that's a lot of cookie dough!

Once again, the Gorman Fort Banks families have shown their love for cookie dough (or their exemplary salesmanship) in our Cookie Dough Fundraiser. Thanks to you, the PTO will soon have over $11,000 to allocate towards enrichment programs, scholarships and activities for students.

Delivery will take place the week of December 12th. Room parents, please be ready to pitch in that week to help unload the truck and sort when it arrives. A firm date and details will be sent to us by the company soon. Stay tuned.

For those of you who are curious about what was the most popular flavor, it was chocolate chunk. All the others are distributed rather evenly:

Cookies and Snow

Although it's not supposed to blizzard here in Winthrop, the snowy conditions in the rest of the country have delayed our cookie delivery. Stay tuned to the blog for delivery and pick up time updates.

The Cookies Are NOT Here!

Just wanted to inform you that due to inclement weather the cookie shipment has been delayed.  There is no need for anyone that had planned on helping with the breakdown and distribution of the cookie dough to come to the school today, December 14, 2010 for that reason.  We are expecting that the shipment will be arriving on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 but would like to confirm with the shipping company before scheduling any volunteers. 

The cookies have arrived. PTO volunteers will be organizing the orders today for pick up tomorrow. Orders of 5 or less tubs of dough will be sent home through your child. All other orders should be picked up from the Multi-purpose Room on Wednesday, December 15th. There are two pick up times available: 10-11:30a or 5:30-7p.

Now that's a lot of dough!

Our cookie dough fundraiser was an enormous success! We sold well over 2000 tubs of cookie dough!!! We are expecting delivery the week of December 13th. We intend to have a morning pick up time and a late day pick up time for families to pick up their tubs. Stay tuned to our blog and your child's back pack mail regarding pick up times once we have a solid delivery date from the supplier. Congratulations and thanks go out to all the children, their families and the community at large who made this event an enormous success.
