Mint Smoothie Fundraiser 

(Round 2 - Valentines Day)

If you would like to participate in the fundraiser, this is how it works:

Mint Smoothies sell for $3.00 each.

• They come in bags of 20 Mint Smoothies. ($60.00)

• You purchase the Mint Smoothies and sell them to reimburse yourself.  

• Each Mint Smoothies costs $1.65, so $1.35 is profit toward your Quebec trip. Each bag of 20 reduces your trip by $27.00.

• The profits go to your individual trip, not the group.

The Mint Smoothies will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis. Please bring in your money or cheque (Lester B. Pearson School for the Arts - Mint Smoothie) and we will give you your smoothies. Initially we will limit purchase to 3 bags until we see the demand. 

We will also run this fundraiser again in the Spring.

A total of 51 of a possible 56 surveys (91%) were returned. Here is the breakdown of the returned results:

• Option 1 - A four day trip to Quebec. - 46 in favour (90.2%)

• Option 2 - A one day trip to Niagara Falls and Clifton Hills amusement park. - 4 in favour (7.8%) 

• Option 3 - Not to do an end-of-year trip this year. - 0 in favour 

• One parent replied they fine with either option 1 or 2. (1.96%)

As a result of the survey we will plan for a four day trip to Quebec City to take place from Tuesday, June 20th to Friday June 23rd, 2023. 

Details will be sent home later this week about a deposit to confirm participation in the trip. 

We have usually done some fundraising to help offset the cost of the trip. This page will be updated when we have details of fundraising events in place. We welcome your ideas!
