Hello Family and Friends!
I’m hoping you can help me raise some money for my school, the Capitol Hill Cluster School. The Cluster School is a unique D.C. public school that strives to ensure that graduates value the arts, community involvement, diversity, and a healthy lifestyle, and have the critical thinking, writing, problem solving, and interpersonal skills needed to attend the high school of their choice, in preparation for success in college and life. This year we are selling great environmentally-friendly products through two companies, and 40% of all online sales go directly to support the terrific programs at my school!
Ecotulips
Ecotulips are the only American source of organic, pesticide-free tulip bulbs – and they are grown locally in Virginia. You can choose from over 40 varieties of tulip bulbs, along with other organic flower bulbs!! But hurry, this offer only lasts until October 20, 2011! Follow these simple steps:
Greenraising was started by the parents of elementary school children who watched how their school’s parents associations struggled each year to raise the funds necessary to provide an excellent education, and who bought their share of cookie dough and magazines to help that happen. At the same time, they noticed that their children were coming home with concerns about the environment, pollution, global warming and living conditions in the world, and were feeling helpless to change things. A little research yielded a host of small things each family could do to help the situation, and a light bulb went off (well, technically a compact fluorescent bulb). Greenraising was created to help solve both problems: raise money for schools and give children an opportunity to learn that their actions can change the world.
