Big Kahuna Fundraiser
Nelson Elementary Big Kahuna Fundraiser.
So many wonderful items besides cookies:) I love the Fiesta Soup Trio and Cheese Ball Mixes! Perfect for the warmer weather and upcoming holidays!
Shop on-line at @ Shop.OnlineFundraisingShop.com. Our school code is 1062.
All money raised will go directly back to the students and teachers:)
Has your child mentioned the Party Bus/Hummer Limo Ride to Chick-fil-a.
Each child just needs to sell 15 items. If you have a sibling at Nelson, they will just need to sell 5 items for both students to be able to attend. Make sense?
If you have questions, please contact Arthur at 817-366-2276 or email at ARTHUR@BIGKAHUNAFUN.COM
