Popcorn Friday is a great community building event for our entire school. Kids love seeing and smelling the popcorn popping on Fridays!
Seeing parents investing time in them and their school gives kids a wonderful sense of community.

Volunteer
We need a group of 6 or so dedicated volunteers who can commit to at least 3 Popcorn Friday dates. The time commitment is from 12-3 pm (or 2 pm if you are picking up a Pre-K). Please consider volunteering your time. We make it fun!

Donate
This year, we’re collecting funds in one or two installments rather than weekly. We suggest donating $20 per child for the full year, or $10 for half the year. Any amount is appreciated and will have a big impact. You can also consider sponsoring another child!

Needs
We are always looking for popcorn kernels, canola oil, dye-free seasoning, and small paper bag donations! This year the Hudson Valley Farm Hub donated 1000lbs of kernels. We are so grateful!
