Gold Fundraiser March 15
Do you have a Pot of Gold in your home? Well maybe not a pot but one earring and its partner nowhere to be found, a broken bracelet, necklace or ring you haven’t worn in years. Here’s your chance to turn that gold AND silver into cash. This is your chance to come to a fundraiser and leave with cash in hand and support the Kennedy Schoo
l.
Stop in any time and have your gold and silver jewelry appraised. This will take approximately 15 minutes. The Kennedy will earn 20 % of the total cash paid out to our families and not deducted from the money you earn on your jewelry.
Gather all the gold and silver items you want to sell and come to the Kennedy School on Monday, March 15th from 6 to 8 pm. All items are appraised and bought by certified gold buyers. There will be 2 or 3 buyers (depending on the number of people interested in this event) set up in the lobby.
All items purchased will not be resold. They are sent to a refinery to be melted. Stones and precious gems cannot be purchased. However, if an item contains chips or small stones they can be removed if you wish to keep them.
Also, during this time we will have our monthly PTO meeting. We hope that you will join us for part or the entire meeting. All meetings are open to any parent or guardian of Kennedy students and teachers.
Please help us plan accordingly and make sure we have a sufficient number of certified gold buyers that evening. If you know you will be able to attend please complete this form and return it to the office by March 7th.
