Go to Fundscrip to sign up by clicking the link.  Our school invitation code is Y3SPUE (clicking on the link below enters this code automatically).  If you choose to pay using an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), make sure the name you sign up with matches what is on your void check.  (You earn more $$ with an EFT)  Parents, I think it needs to be your name on the account, so if you want me to track your earnings according to your child and your last names do not match, please let me know via email who your child is!  If I am unsure who is ordering, the profits will go into the general music fund for instrument upgrades (I actually really appreciate this - we have a lot of equipment needs at GMS).

We've gone back to direct delivery.  If you order $200 in cards, you can get free shipping which means you will still get the same profits.  We weren't ordering enough to get free shipping with school delivery, so this will work better going forward.

We are fundraising with Tru Earth and their new sister company: Eco-Collective (also known as Net-Zero)!  They sell a range of eco friendly products for your home.  If cardboard packaging and space saving means a lot to you, these are a great option.  20% of each purchase through this link comes back to GMS as profit!  (This fundraiser is for the general program and instrument/equipment upgrades, and profits do not go into individual student accounts.)

Backyard Beans has just launched again!  Please see the order form and information sheet to the side to help you track orders.  We are doing School Cash Online for small order, but giving families who are selling to many different customers the option to bring in cash (School Cash Online doesn't seem to play nice with larger orders).

Each 1lb bag sells for $20.  $5 profit per bag sold, $1 profit goes towards the general music program account.

The current order is due Feb 24

Backyard Beans is a local coffee company (Summerland) that roasts delicious blends of shade grown, organic coffees from around the world. 

Ordering starts now! 

·         All orders are Due by: Nov. 29, 2024

·         Order Pick up day: December 6 - 10, 2024

Here is how to order:

1.       Go to the following link and set up an account:

https://fundraising.purdys.com/2005361-122739

 Our Account number is 13636

IMPORTANT - DO NOT GIVE OUT THE LINK ABOVE TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY, you will need to use your own personalized link (I will explain below where to find that). If you give out this link, we are not able to track orders back to your child.

2.       Once you have set up your account and are logged in you can find your personalized link that you can send out to friends and family. This link will help us keep track of all orders coming in. To find your link go to your dashboard. On the top left-hand side of your screen, you will see your personalized link underneath where it says “You Are Connected To: KIM”. Share this link with family and friends and they can order right online as well as make payments online. All payments must be made by November 29th, 2024.

 A few things to keep in mind:

1.       You will be responsible for delivering the orders that you or your child sells. Somewhere between Dec 6-10 you will pick up all orders at the school and then will need to deliver orders from there. We can not do direct shipment so please make sure that friends and family from out of town know not to order if they do not live close by.

2.       Items do sell out. Don’t wait until the last minute to make orders, you will be disappointed.

We are launching a fundraiser for T Bones Meat on November 26th, 2024. This is a gift card fundraiser and 15% of the amount purchased will go to your student's fundraising account and the Music program.  These cards make great Christmas gifts!  Gift cards can be purchased in any denominations between $20-$200 (T-Bones cannot load cards for more than $200.)  Music students can sell using the order form handed out in-class to track orders if they want to go door-to-door, but all payment to GMS must be made through School Cash Online.  This means students can track sales using the form, enter the final order all at once online, and pay through School Cash Online.  Please keep the form at home so you can deliver cards to your customers.  Do not send in cash.

To the left are order tracking forms for students who want to try selling to multiple customers along with receipts that can be handed out.
