Who doesn't love popcorn?
Let's get ready for our First Fundraiser for the year! It is quick, easy and no product handling. Who doesn't love popcorn? Well we are teaming up with Double Good for the best popcorn around! It's !00% contactless, we keep 50% of the sales and the product ships directly to the buyers home.
Each Student/Family will create a pop up store, share it with social media and family to sell Double Good Popcorn! Prices for Signature bags (5 cups each) start at $9 and Curated Collections at $26. The popcorn is ultra-premium, delicious and award-winning.
Our fundraising window begins on August 31 @ 5:00 PM and goes until September 4 @ 5:00.
Before the fundraiser begins:
1. Download the Double Good App
2. Enter our event code PVJGAV in the app
3. Create your Pop-Up Store
The app is available for free on iOS and Android.
Top 2 sellers will receive a Gift card and all Students that sell at least $500 (multiple kids make one Family Pop-up Store sells at least $750) will participate in a Pizza Party!
So simple and easy. If each student sells at least $20 of popcorn we will be at 80% of our fundraising goal for the year!!!!!
AWESOME Travel Opportunity with EF Tours & Ms. Johnson!

When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.
In this info session, we'll talk about:
● How this opportunity will benefit your child
● What we'll see and do on our trip
● Everything that's included in this experience
● How your child can earn academic credit
● How we'll be keeping the trip safe and affordable
● How to enroll on the trip (before it fills up!)
Registration for this info session is mandatory to help organize our meeting and to notify attendees of a change in time or location if necessary. A parent or guardian must attend. Can't make it? Email me at ljohnson1@glnd.k12.va.us. Can't wait to see you there!
