The Sanford Middle School PTA has announced the return of their popular Butter Braids Fundraiser, running from March 10th through March 28th, 2025. This year's fundraiser introduces an exciting new "Simply Shipped" option alongside traditional frozen pastries.
The Butter Braids pastries, which come in various flavors, are delivered frozen so families can store them for special occasions. The new "Simply Shipped" option delivers non-food products directly to buyers' homes, making the fundraiser accessible to non-local supporters and those with food sensitivities.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will support two major initiatives:
Teacher Appreciation Week activities in May
An end-of-school-year Random Act of Kindness event in June (previously featuring Kona Ice trucks)
Monthly random acts of kindness for approximately 985 students
The PTA has set a fundraising goal of $3,000. Parents and guardians can participate by signing their students up through the fundraiser link provided in the flyer. Each participant receives a custom link with a dashboard to track orders and personalize their page.
For those purchasing Butter Braids, pickup is scheduled for Thursday, April 10th at 1:15 PM at the Middle School. Simply Shipped items will be delivered directly to buyers' addresses.
