Tasty Tuesdays

Hi. I plan to update the auction list later this week and stumbled across this idea from Chestercountymoms.blogspot.com. Post an easy themed recipe. I'm always looking for new recipes. Sounded fun so I thought I would try it out. Here's an easy crock pot recipe.
Chicken Chili
In the pot place in 2 lbs. boneless chicken, 28 oz diced tomatoes, 1 can black beans, 1 can corn, 1 pkg of chili seasoning. Cook for 8 hours low OR 4 hours high. Serve over rice.

Mission Statement

Copeland Run Academy will build a foundation within each child for enthusiastic, lifelong learning by providing a nurturing atmosphere which stimulates individual, social, emotional, and intellectual growth in partnership with family and community.

As a small, not for profit school, we hold fundraising events to help to offset the schools operating expenses and provide new materials and learning experiences to benefit the children. Our largest fundraising event is our Silent Auction. The Twenty Sixth Annual Spring Fair and Silent Auction is scheduled for April 24, 2010 at the United Sports Training Center.

Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, we were able to replace the picnic tables with the funds that we raised last year. This year's goal is to update the existing playground equipment so that the children may play in an age appropriate playground.

Spring Fair and Silent Auction Fun

It’s that time of year again! The 26th Annual Spring Fair and Silent Auction is Saturday, April 24th 2010 at the United Sports Training Center.

Auction items are needed. Donate a great item yourself, or ask a family member or employer for a contribution. Gift baskets, Pro Game tickets, Gift Certificates, Services, Concert, Theater Tickets, Use of a Vacation Home. The options are endless!
These items are then auctioned at the Spring Fair. Add your bid to the list of your favorite items and see if you have the winning bid at the end of the Fair. Everyone wins as Copeland Run Academy gets 100% of the proceeds and the highest bidder gets a terrific item! The auction is a fun time, and you can get some great things for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, and other special events.
