Coffee Sales - Ongoing
The PTO Fundraising Committee can be found in the TCGIS lobby every other Friday morning selling wonderful Velasquez Family coffee, both by the cup and the bag. Grown by the Velasquez family in Honduras, the coffee merits every good adjective you can imagine: family-farmed, shade-grown, fair-trade, hand-picked, and sun-dried. It's a great way to support both TCGIS and small-scale farmers. For more information on this great company visit www.vfamilycoffee.com.
Our regular offerings include French Roast, Full City Roast, and Breakfast Blend (whole bean or ground), $10 for a 12-oz. bag. Decaf, favored coffees and 5 lb. bags are available by special order. (See order form for varieties and prices.) Click here for an order form.
If you can't make it to the school on a Friday morning just drop an order form in the PTO box at the front desk, along with your check, and we'll send your coffee home in your child's backpack. Thank you! |
