Thetis Elementary Fundraiser

Dear Thetis Island Humans,

Hi, it’s me, Athenia! I’m so excited about our school fundraiser at the Christmas Fair tomorrow. We’ve been working really hard, and we have so many fun things for you to see and buy!

Find Us First!

We asked for a table too late, so there wasn’t room inside—but that’s actually great because we’ll be outside the front doors on the right! Please visit us first before spending all your money inside:). When you buy from us, we offer free, earth-friendly gift wrapping and can hold your baked goods until you’re ready to leave. It’s our way of saying thank you!

Gift Basket Raffle

We’ve made a special gift basket with art cards, one of my felted pictures, and yummy baked goods. You can buy tickets for a chance to win, and we’ll let the winner know at the end of the day.

Art Cards

Each student made unique art cards, perfect for Christmas or sending a kind note. I also made needle-felted art pictures of forests, ponds and even sailboats for sailors (because I’m a sailor too!). Half of the money I earn will go to the fundraiser.

Baked Treats

We have lots of yummy treats, including:

Spice loaf cake, Lemon squares, Gluten-free black bean brownies (healthy and delicious!), Rice Krispie squares (please don’t buy all of them!)

Special traditional Czech baking my mom can tell you about.

Purdys Chocolates

You can still order Purdy’s chocolates—they’re perfect for gifts or just for yourself!

We’re trying to make everything earth-friendly, using natural and sustainable materials. This fundraiser is super important for our school, and we’d love your support.

Thank you and see you there!

Athenia and Sparkles ( because I do everything with my dog).

Jams and Jellies

I will be selling my jams and jellies at the Christmas Market Saturday 30th. I have an assortment ready to give of both sweet and savory jams and jellies. Also will have individual jams and jellies with cute little hats.

You can also buy my jams and jellies with colourful hats at Telegraph Harbour Marina Cafe and Store.

Christmas Market and Social - Saturday!

Only a few days until our annual Christmas Market - Forbes Hall from 10 until 2.

What can you expect to find? Jewellery, pottery, carving, knitting, smoked salmon, baking, woodworking, soaps, clothing, jams, crocheting, cards, and so much more! 

All this and a delicious lunch at a reasonable price. Come for the shopping, the lunch and to spend visiting time with your neighbours - it’s sure to be an enjoyable day.
