Fundraisers –

Yankee Candle: Thank you to everyone who supported our recent Yankee Candle fundraiser, which was very successful!

Mixed Bags: We will be starting our Spring Fundraiser, Mixed Bags, after our Spring Break (April 10th).  If you don’t know a student to order from, you can support us by going to http://fundraiser.mixedbagdesigns.com/Online-Ordering.com Click on “I’m a friend or family member” and enter Fundraiser ID 82281 to ensure credit goes to our school.  Shipping charges will apply, so ONLY order online if you can’t order directly from the family of a student or staff member of the Center.

Applebees: Three local Applebees locations have generously offered to donate 10% of your bill (excluding tax and tip) when you dine at the Kingston, Middletown, or Poughkeepsie restaurants on Wednesday, June 6, 2012.  We attempted this event on February 29th, but had our ONE and only snowy day of the winter (and still raised $38).  A voucher for our school must be presented in order for the Center to get credit.  You can get your vouchers from any student’s family, or contact Denise Henn at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and she can email them to you.  Pass as many on to family and friends as you like!!  This can be a fun social event for our families, in a very child-friendly establishment!

Pizza Hut: Stay tuned for Pizza Hut fundraiser in July!
