Some of our annual fundraisers are so popular that Churchill parents from decades back still look forward to them.

Beginning in mid-October:

• DeDe’s Famous Chocolate Covered Almonds—DeDe’s almonds are a St. Louis tradition. These whole roasted almonds are dipped in the finest milk chocolate. The crispiness of DeDe’s almonds combined with the silkiness of smooth milk chocolate is the answer to every chocolate lover’s dream.
• Poinsettias—Churchill is delighted to offer holiday poinsettias at reduced rates. Pink, white and the traditional red colors are available. All plants come with a festive holiday cover and are guaranteed fresh. Proceeds from the sale of almonds and poinsettias benefit Churchill’s Scholarship Fund.
• Book Fair—Do your Christmas shopping the Sunday before Thanksgiving and benefit Churchill at the same time. The annual Book Fair is a great opportunity for parents, family and friends to donate a much-needed book to our library–just select from a “wish list” of items.

More ways to earn money for Churchill year ‘round:

• Churchill Coffee—Love Coffee? Love Churchill? Then try Churchill Coffee. The Churchill Coffee Company is located in Springfield, MO where over 100 varieties of coffee and tea are sold.

• FundingFactory® Recycling Program—Recycle used cell phones and printer cartridges to help earn technology equipment for Churchill–Churchill participates in the FundingFactory® Recycling Program.
