Information about the pies and cookie dough (including descriptions, ingredients and baking instructions) can be found online at www.mcmfundraising.com. Just click on the “Programs Link” to learn more.
All orders must be placed online https://my.mcmfundraising.com/signup/X56C. Payment is due at the time your order is placed. If you do not wish to place an order, you may make a donation to the preschool instead. Checks should be made out to 1st Church Preschool.
The profits of this sale will be used to provide enrichment events for the children. The more we sell, the more we will be able to do!!

Last Day of School -- Goodbye Family Picnic
2025-06-05 17:30 - 19:30
Our Goodbye Family Picnic provides a concrete experience for the children through which to begin to recognize the changes and endings that come with our school year ending. The evening begins in the Parish Hall where children from each class will present a brief skit of a favorite song which they have prepared. After the Parish Hall, weather permitting, we will move outside for a picnic supper on the grassy area beyond Whiting House. Each family should bring their own blankets/chairs, drinks and you may order a pizza through the school or bring your own picnic style dinner. Teachers will hand out a personal “Goodbye Book” to your child and we will end with a watermelon dessert!
