Working with Schools - Coral Springs Elementary Bear Fairs


Ahhh...What to do on a weekend if you have a kid? Get out there and support your local community! I highly recommend going to school fairs. Not only is it an awesome way to support the school your child goes to, but it is just as awesome to support your local community. These schools work so hard to put these events together just so they can reward their students for their hard work and possibly raise money. We, at With Thoughts Of You, have been fortunate enough to be a part of two vendor fairs hosted by the PTA at Coral Springs Elementary. At this Bear Fair, you'll see members of the PTA, Dr. Shaw (Principal), and Mrs. Brown (Assistant Principal) walking around and speaking with everyone as if it were their own party they were hosting. They are a very welcoming school, the principal is always a part of their events, and the kids seem to have tons of fun. Your child will be happy to enjoy things like face painting, a variety of fair games, snow cones and other foods at Coral Springs Elementary Bear Fairs. Even if it's just for an hour or two, you can either build memories with your child or you can grab a few things from the vendors. It's truly nice to see a school give their students opportunities to have somewhere safe to let loose on a weekend. You can absolutely tell that this school really cares about their students. It is unfortunate that we cannot say that about every school. I can definitely understand why my niece enjoyed that aspect of Coral Springs Elementary the year she came to Florida for her visit.

 So what is it exactly that we do at these fairs? At these Bear Fairs, we bring some of our products which are available for purchase. You'll be happy to know that we do usually sell our products at discounted prices at events like these. We know that money can sometimes be tight and we know that YOU and YOUR KIDS are there to have a good time just like everyone else. Isn't it awesome when you can save money? I think so! Besides, what's more joyful than seeing your child use some of that money you just saved to help create some of their most memorable moments?

The great thing about letting With Thoughts Of You be a vendor at a fair like this is that we like to try to raise funds for the school while we sell our products. We use our gift cards as a way to put some of our fundraising efforts into action. This provides an almost effortless way for the school to raise money for the day. If gift cards are bought at the fair, a portion of the proceeds from gift card sales goes right to the school by the end of the day. We like to help when we can make it possible and hopefully you do too!

Thank you Coral Springs Elementary for allowing us to participate as a vendor in your Bear Fairs!

P.S. My niece still loves you Mrs. Slater!
