Dear Parents and Friends,
Great News! JFK Middle School is fundraising with Fun Pasta Fundraising! We're raising money forTeacher Grants (these grants enrich our children's education throughout the school year) the money raised may also go to New Technology for our teachers. The pasta selection is affordable and selling is fun and simple. And best of all, our group can earn up to 50% profit!
What is Fun Pasta?
Fun Pasta is pasta shaped like the holidays, sports, collegiate team logos, and more. The colorful brochure features a wide variety of shapes that will appeal to everyone! Pasta will be in before the holiday break.
How can you help?
SHARE our Fun Pasta Brochure with neighbors, friends, and co-workers!
Every sale helps support our group and gets us closer to our goal. The products are healthy, fun, and affordable – and make great gifts, too!
SHARE our Webpage Link on Facebook, Twitter, and Email!
Out-of-town relatives and friends can now order directly from the company and WE GET THE CREDIT! 40% of these sales go directly to us! (excludes shipping cost). There is a flat rate shipping charge of $6.95, but they ship within a couple of days, and our relatives can easily support our group!
