September Newsletter for Expressions School Tea Towel Fundraising

By Expressions Fundraising Australia on 13 September 2023

Congratulations to Our Early Bird Winners!

We're thrilled to announce that Edithvale Preschool are our Early Bird Winners! Their creativity and organisation paid off, earning them the value of their tea towel order back. What a way to celebrate their tea towel fundraiser with Expressions Australia!

Artwork Cut-Off Deadlines Approaching

As we head into the busy months, it's crucial to get your artwork in early. Courier delays and postal slowdowns are still affecting shipping across Australia. We recommend submitting your artwork by 22 October and your order numbers by 5 November to avoid disappointment.

The turnaround time in Term 4 may stretch to six weeks. Getting your artwork in now means you’ll be front of the printing queue and your families will have their tea towel keepsakes right on time.

Support for Lockdown States: Run from Home

Still in lockdown but keen to fundraise? We've got you covered with our Run from Home Fundraiser. It’s perfect for students to create art from home, scan or photograph it, and send it through to us. Fun, simple and socially distant.

Download the Coordinator's Kit to get started.

August Staff Picks: Creative Highlights

August saw some truly stunning tea towel printing designs. Shoutout to Brooklyn Public School for their whimsical toadstool and fairy artwork. And a big kudos to Charlotte Peterswald Property Management in Tasmania for their elegant Historic Homes design — what a gift-worthy gem!
