CHEX MIX
Second and Third Grade Community Service Project
For many years the students in our classes have completed a community service project during the holidays. The project is THE WORLD newspaper’s “SANTA PROJECT”. This project collects money and buys new coats, hats, boots, and mittens for Central Vermont children. This year, we will once again, make and sell “Chex Mix” as a fundraiser for this project. We will make the mix on Thursday, December 17 and sell it on Friday, December 18to students, staff and families of EMES. The cost will be $.75 per bag.
In order for this project to be a success we are asking families for donations of mix supplies. It is truly amazing and fun for the kids to see all the great contributions we receive each year. We need many, many boxes of cereal it can be Chex or a generic variety, it doesn’t matter the brand! We cannot accept any nuts or products that contain any honey-nut ingredients. Please check ingredients before sending in contributions, pretzels can be especially tricky! Following is a list of types of cereals, etc. we can use:
- Wheat Chex Goldfish style crackers
- Corn chex Cheez-it style crackers
- Rice chex Small pretzels
- Cheerios (no honey nut) Mini melba toast
We will supply the spices, butter and baggies for the project. Please send in your donations by Wednesday, December 16th so we can plan accordingly.
Thank you for your generosity in this important event. We know how expensive groceries are, so we really appreciate your help in teaching this important lesson of giving to our students.
Please don’t hesitate to call or e-mail us with any questions! If you can help bake or bag the mix the afternoon of December 17th, please let your child’s teacher know. THANK YOU!!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Fitch and Laura Giammusso
