Edensor Park PS Celebratory Tea Towel
At Expressions, we believe fundraising should be as meaningful as it is successful. That’s exactly what Edensor Park Public School in NSW achieved with their school tea towel fundraising project, marking their 30th birthday in style.
A Keepsake and Fundraiser in One
To celebrate three decades of learning, staff and students created a gorgeous custom printed tea towel. Each child contributed their own unique drawing, capturing “the way they see themselves at this moment in time.” For families, it became more than a fundraiser, it was a memory woven into organic cotton.
"We chose this as our fundraiser as it was a great way to capture all the students and teachers the way they see themselves at this moment in time, which is especially important with the students. So many of the drawings are exactly them. We are a smallish school with about 280 students and we had a great response to the tea towels. We also made a birthday cook book with recipes from our families and history of the area and the school over the last 30 years, so it teamed up well with that. It was truly an easy fundraiser for us to organise. Most of the hard work was done by you guys, it was great - thank you."
– Belinda, Project Coordinator
Combining Tradition with Creativity
With just 280 students, Edensor Park PS embraced the simplicity and joy of the project. Alongside the tea towels, families also compiled a birthday cookbook filled with recipes, stories and school history. Together, the two fundraisers offered practical keepsakes that carried sentimental value.
