AUTUMN There is nothing
quite like receiving a personalised
gift or message from a child at Christmas. Check suppliers’ deadlines and plan ahead to ensure that items arrive in time to sell. Capture pupils’ creativity by
involving them in a Christmas card project, where they can have their own designs printed onto greetings cards. Prepare for the New Year by
selling calendars to parents, using one class photo per month, filling any gaps with teaching and non-teaching staff. Choose from a selection of designs and involve pupils. Puddings with personalised
labels are ideal to share at Christmas. The Ultimate Plum Pudding Company (
ultimateplumpudding.co.uk) provides a range of delicious products: triple chocolate, sticky toffee, and zingy lemon, as well as regular, non- alcoholic and gluten-free plum puddings. Host a competition between students to design a winning label and be sure to take orders in advance.
