KINDERGARTEN PARENT BREAKFAST:
This event is for the parents to get to know other kindergarten parents and to ask any questions they may have.

MOM-TO-MOM SALE:
This was our first year with this event. It is an opportunity for people to get rid of some stuff and for others to get some good deals. This is to raise money for other school events, for example field day refreshments.

CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISER:
This fundraiser was chosen instead of doing a catalog sales. A letter was sent to all parents asking for them to raise donations to help our school. All donations are 100% tax-deductible, and 100% of the money goes to the children. This money will fund all of the events and activities that Friends of Landmark hosts during the year. If enough money is not raised, we will need to add another fundraiser in the Spring, but we are hoping against that.

SCRAPBOOKING:
This is our first year for this event. It is an all-day event for people who love to scrapbook. This event is to raise money for other school supplies for the classrooms.

CARNIVAL:
The carnival is an annual event that is simply for the childrens’ enjoyment.

MS/HS BOOK FAIR:
This event is to help earn books for our MS/HS library. The profit is based on sales and that ranges from 40 - 60 %.

TEACHER APPRECIATION DINNER:
Dinner is provided for all of the teachers and staff working during conferences as a big thank you for the work they do. We thank you for all you do for our children. They are blessed to have you all on their side!

ELEMENTARY BOOK FAIR:
This event is to help earn books for our elementary library. The profit is based on sales and range from 40-60%. This event has done very well for us for the last few years with a 60% profit of total sales.

FAMILY NIGHT:
These nights are planned activity nights for families to have fun together.

SANTA SHOP:
This event is a chance for the children to shop for Christmas present for their mom, dad, and siblings. Elementary students choose from items that come from the dollar store. They are then wrapped for them and label to take home. It makes the children feel very important. In the MS/HS, the items will come from a vendor so that it has items with a higher price point. This is not a fundraising event, it is simply a service that we provide for the children’s enjoyment. Hope to see you there with your Christmas spirit. Ho! Ho! Ho!

DINNER AUCTION:
This event is a themed adults-only dinner and auction. There is always a wide-variety of items to bid on, including classroom projects. Auction items are sold through both silent bidding and a live auction. It is a great deal of fun! The event is to raise money for playground equipment. Currently, we are raising money for the 3rd-5th grade playground.
