               2017 Purdys Fundraiser


Dear Seycove Music Students and Families,
 
A huge thank you to you for your participation in another hugely successful Seycove Music Purdys Chocolates Fundraiser this year! As you know, a significant number of wonderful parent volunteers joined our Purdys Fundraiser organizers all day Friday to sort and package orders for everyone to pick up that afternoon. It was an impressive team!
 
Below is an important message from Sonya and Kim:

  • Thank you for a successful Purdys fundraiser. Your fundraising efforts were awesome.
  • For those of you who did not pick up orders, please see Ms. Langevin and/or Mr. Barnes on Monday Dec 4th as they have your items.
  • As mentioned on Friday and, once again now, PLEASE review your orders. The parent volunteers packaged each of your customers’ orders for you and checked twice. However, it is your responsibility to ensure the items are all there prior to Customer delivery. Watch closely in reading the invoice against the product name/SKU and quantity. 
  • Respond with concerns re: incorrect orders no later than Monday, December 4th
  • Call Sonya 604-999-3776 if you have any concerns.
  • Have a wonderful December and great holiday season. It will be upon us sooner than you think. 

 Thank you,
 
Melodie Langevin & Chris Barnes

CAMPAIGN DETAILS and YOUR PERSONAL ACCOUNT LOGIN INFORMATION

This holiday season the Seycove Music Program will be fundraising with Purdys Chocolatier! This program gives 25% of the sales directly back to the student. With Christmas around the corner, this is a timely fundraiser. Your family, relatives, friends and neighbors may shop online or by order form (inside the catalogue) and avoid the Christmas crowds.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS:
  • Each student’s profits are allotted to their individual music account and are used to fund trips within the music program. Once funds have been credited to the student’s account they can be spent in the current year or accumulated over the student's time at Seycove (to be used before their final year is completed). 
  • IMPORTANT: Students, to join the Purdys fundraiser you will receive a Purdys paper invitation from your music teacher. DO NOT IGNORE or THROW this document away as it contains the unique 6-digit identifier identifying you with the Purdys Seycove fundraiser. See the “SPECIAL MESSAGE TO ALL STUDENTS” at the end of this email explaining how to log into your account and the key information your customers (family, relatives, friends and neighbors) need to know to participate in this fundraiser.
  • If you do not receive the paper invitation, please contact your music teacher or the Purdys co-ordinators; Kim Kilpatrick or Sonya Klassen. 

SPECIAL OFFER FOR LARGE ORDERS:
  • Students, if you wish to fundraise more than $800 there is a new feature available to ship the order directly to you and avoid the school pick-up on Dec 1st.
  • Note: To facilitate the direct shipping offer, we require YOU to contact the Seycove School Purdys co-ordinator, Sonya Klassen, BEFORE starting your online campaign!! 

IN PERSON PAPER ORDERS PAID BY CASH/CHEQUES:
  • For students wishing to take paper order requests please pickup the Purdys brochures (order forms will be inside with tax already incorporated into the price) located at the entrance to the music rooms. Students will be responsible for collecting the correct cash or cheque amount. You CANNOT accept credit cards on paper orders. All cheques are made payable to Seycove Secondary School. 
  • Note: Students accepting paper orders will need to enter these paper orders online in the Purdys website. This will be done, with Sonya and Kim’s assistance, on Nov. 22nd from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in Mr. Clancy’s classroom at Seycove. Further details will follow. 
  • **Please DO NOT drop these paper orders in the box at the music room door. Keep them safe with you until Nov. 22nd**
