The Great Sunflower Seed Sale!!



This is not an April Fool's joke! Our class has, so far made OVER FIFTY DOLLARS selling sunflower seeds at school. We didn't expect to sell so many! We've been colouring posters and decorating seed packets and putting the seeds in and filling orders all week. We even had some people go around to each class yesterday to advertise our sale. 

Today was the first day of selling and we had heaps of orders. The grade 5/6s bought more than 20 packets! We still have orders to deliver next week and we have been keeping a record of our orders in a spreadsheet. When we added up the money it came to $50.50 - that's over 100 packets sold so far! Thanks to all the parents and other adults who came in to help or bought seeds.

Next week we are going to have a class meeting and a vote to decide what to do with all the money we've raised. Perhaps we could use it to start our own garden.....
