Valentine's Day had always been celebrated with giving out valentine cards, roses and just the feeling of love being in the air. However, unlike anything that had ever organized before, this year's Valentine's Day celebration is going to include a themed baking sale, organized by Karina, Polina and myself and a celebratory disco after school. Not only am I directly involved in organizing the bake sale, I'm also planning on decorating the corridor with heart-themed decorations as well as being the person responsible for the Valentine's Day being a non-school uniform day. One of the first things that had to be done in preparation for the bake sale was to think of where and when to set it up. According to our plan, the bake sale will take place near the canteen on lunchtime. We believe that this will be the best time and locations for this fundraising event, because that's where most people spend their time on lunchtime, so our sale will be noticed by everyone, thus attracting more customers. The next step is producing posters to advertise the event and putting them up all over the school.
As well as putting up the posters, I was thinking about going around the registrations in order to make announcements about no school uniform and the bake sale. At the beginning we couldn't decide whether we should be the only ones to bring our baked treats to the bake sale or whether we should ask any volunteers to make a contribution. After a thorough discussion with Karina and Polina, a final decision has been reached - everyone who is willing to participate will be more than welcome to bring their treats and either give them to us to sell on lunchtime or sell them themselves. I've written a letter addressed to the tutors, announcing that everyone has a chance to make a contribution to this worthy cause. I tried to come up with a list of things I need to do for the Valentine's Day:
- Print posters and hang them around the school + send out letters to tutors
- Make announcements during registrations (bake sale + non-school uniform day)
- Cut out at least 50 differently sized pink (or red?) hearts for the decorations
- Buy pink, red and white balloons
- Menu for the bake sale + price tags
"Dear Tutor,
I'm sure most of your class has already been informed about the upcoming baking sale on Thursday 14th of February. We are giving everyone an opportunity to contribute towards this event and bring some home-made treats to the baking sale. Just to remind you, all the money collected will go to charity, so everyone should try to contribute to this worthy cause. Please bring the treats you cook to Mr Carruthers' room before lunchtime on Thursday. Each student has a choice of either giving their food to us to sell or selling the food on lunchtime themselves. Your participation would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your attention. :)
If you have any questions, please ask Alyona, Karina or Polina from Yr 12."
