Poinsettia Fundraiser

Sixth grade students at Sidney Glen go to outdoor education camp in March. We head off to Olympic Park Institute near Lake Crescent. This year will be our second year, and the students are pretty excited. Money presents a major obstacle for this experience. With over 100 students attending at a cost of over $150 each, we have our work cut out for us. Selling poinsettias as a fundraiser is the first major way students can earn money towards their camp cost. This year, they sold more than 200 poinsettias! Belfair Valley Nursery generously sold us the plants at a much reduced price, and then students sold them to friends and family. They were beautiful all together.
