Fernwood Coffee Fundraiser
You can purchase delicious freshly roasted coffee beans from a local coffee roaster, Fernwood Coffee Company. The coffee they produce is organic and fair trade certified, which ensures that coffee farmers get paid a fair price for their efforts. As a small, local company they strive to be involved in their community and are committed to socially and environmentally responsible business practices.
If you or other family members drink coffee on a regular basis, please support your child’s band/strings fundraising efforts by purchasing coffee beans! For the very competitive price of $17/lb you will receive a fresh 1 lb bag of locally roasted coffee beans and your child will be able to add $5 to their individual music account for each pound ordered. This year we have 5 lb bags available for $85, with $25 going towards the student's music account. Payment can be made by cash, cheque, or e-transfer.
Orders are usually placed the day after the deadline, with delivery taking place the following week, depending on Fernwood coffee's timeline for fulfilling the order; volunteers then bring the order to the school and the office staff graciously help distribute the orders between the campuses and into the music rooms as soon as they can!

Please make cheques payable to the Lansdowne Music Parents Association (LMPA). Please include the word “coffee” and the student’s name, grade and advisory in the memo line of the cheque to ensure your student receives the fundraising credit.
LATE FORMS cannot be processed as it takes time to reconcile payments with orders, and the group order is placed as soon as this is done.
Coffee beans will be delivered to the music rooms for pick up by your student as soon as possible after they are received from Fernwood. An announcement will be made at school when the beans arrive. Remind your student to be on the look out for your beans if you have placed an order that month!
