Dear NCA Parents,
We are so very excited that each of you has made the choice to send your child/children to Nampa Classical Academy. We would like to extend a big THANK YOU to all of you who were able to complete our Fundraiser Survey. There were a lot of really great ideas and suggestions for the entire year.
We went through each and every survey detailing everyone’s suggestions. Many of our families expressed interest in both product and event fundraisers. We have some things in the works for event fundraisers and upon approval from NCA those will be unveiled soon.
Because this is our first year as an Academy we do not have the luxury of a residual balance in our account. Taking that into account we tried to plan fundraisers that would fit our Academy as well as bring in good return for our money.
All the money that is raised by the PFA will go towards our kids. Throughout the year there will be things that the Academy will need and we would love to be able to support them. Below are some of the product fundraises and on-going fundraisers we would like to do.
Product Type Fundraisers
Boise’s Best Fundraising is our main product fundraiser this year. We have chosen to work with this company because it has a variety of products that are all from Idaho based businesses. We will receive 40% of each product sold. Their pamphlet contains the Boise Prime Card (discount on local businesses), Dawson Taylor coffee, Idaho Pizza, Pumpkin Roll, Éclairs, Cookie Dough, Gourmet Carmel Corn, Cheesecakes and much more. Our hope is to have each family do their best to sell items with this product sale so that we can start the year off with a good amount of money in the PFA account. (Remember, we will not allow door to door sales for safety reasons, and all children will recieve a prize for their particpation.) We see this as a family fundraiser, and not the sole responsiblity of the children. If you choose not to participate, you can make a monetary donation. We are working on a prize for those children whose families choose this.
Chief Pierre Pies and Papa Murphy’s Pizza Cards are two others that we would like to support this year as well.
Ongoing Throughout the Entire Year
There are many on going fundraisers that will help support the academy with very little effort and money on each of us. We are going to sponsor some of theses as well.
One that we are working towards having is popcorn/snack days every week. Due the high cost of the popcorn machine we would like to have snack days first to help raise the money for a popcorn machine. There is also a possibility that the PFA could receive a grant towards a milk product vending machine. Snack days may go towards our cost for this vending machine as well.
We will sale Academy t-shirts that will be accordance with NCA’s P.E. uniform policy. These will soon be available on our Web Store.
Box Tops, Campbell Soup labels, and Capri-Sun pouches are a few things that can be saved. We will have a collection bin at the Academy for these.
Link your Albertson’s Card to our school and we will receive a percentage of what has been spent. There are also several restaurants in the area that sponsor special fundraising events. Some of these will be used throughout the year as well.
Our hope is that with providing a variety of venues each family will find what will best fit them. We understand that each of the things we have planned my not work for your family but hope we will have something that you will be able to support.
Thank you in advance for your support. We look forward to working with you this year! Keep an eye out for our letter on upcoming Events.
Thank You,
PFA Presidency
