Happy Autumn Co-op families! Welcome to our fifth annual Cup Half-Full Festival & Fundraiser. Last year we had such fun painting, helping our school and opening our doors with an Autumn festival, that we are excited to offer this fundraiser again.

For those who are new this year, A Cup Half-Full is our self-designed effort to raise much needed funding for our school operations and scholarship.

In the creative and friendly spirit of our school, families, friends and children of all ages come to the school to paint their own designs on a variety of ceramic items. This festival occurs on Saturday, November 15th between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm.

Pre-registration is required and is open from now until November 7. There will be three 2-hour painting sessions on that day. The painting session sign up sheet is on our website at cooperativeplayschool.com.

After the items are painted, 2000 Degrees (our pottery supplier and local paint-your-own-pottery studio), glazes and fires them for a professional finish that is as beautiful as it is practical for everyday use.

The main activity at our festival will be painting (accompanied by munching on yummy snacks and cider to keep our bellies happy).

The support provided by 2000 Degrees for our fundraiser allows us to price our finished items at a significant discount (averaging about 40% less) compared with an in-store purchase of the same piece of pottery. See the attached order form for items and prices.

We hope you will consider this quality bisqueware for grandparents, aunts & uncles, special friends, mothers, fathers & children (who like to have their own, just like Mom & Dad!) and anyone else to whom you would like to give a lovely and truly personal gift. Delivered soon after the festival, the pottery is perfect for upcoming holidays!

For more information and to sign up for one of the three painting sessions during the festival, please visit www.cooperativeplayschool.com. If you have any questions, contact Deb Huckans (238-2351 or debhuckans@yahoo.com)
