Fundraisers
We have many music program fundraisers throughout the year. Some of our fundraisers accrue directly into to student music accounts and others accrue to the LMPA general account. Funds in student accounts are used to pay for music program expenses including music program t-shirts, method books and trips. Funds in the LMPA general account are used to the benefit of all music students at Lansdowne. Examples of past purchases include the purchase of a baritone saxophone, timpani and a conducting podium. Please see the table below for more information.

Fernwood Coffee Fundraiser
Fernwood Coffee Fundraiser
- You can now 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 $16.00/lb you will receive a fresh bag of locally roasted coffee beans and your child will be able to add $5.00 to their individual music account for each pound ordered. 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!
- Follow this link for the online ordering Google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1NK_JyUcnDzGV8ExInb76qREEV7dqgBWRavvvosfJVJQ/edit
- Please put all your child’s orders (for example, from other friends or relatives) on one monthly order if possible, rather than on multiple forms.
- You can purchase your bags of beans monthly, or you can order for the entire school year. If you choose to order for the entire year, you may forward post-dated cheques, submit one cheque to cover the entire year's order, send an e-transfer for the whole year or e-transfer a monthly payment by the ordering deadline. This saves you the job of placing an order every month, makes our job easier, and ensures that you will have a regular supply of coffee!
- E-transfers are sent to [email protected] - no security question is needed. Please include the word “coffee” and the student’s name, grade and advisory in the memo of the e-transfer to ensure your student receives the fundraising credit.
- 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.
- Post-dated cheques are acceptable, but please check the dates carefully and remember to change the year on cheques dated for the new year!
- 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!
- If you have any questions, please call or email your coffee bean coordinator: Kirstie McNally c/o [email protected]
